Patrick,
Are you having stoppages and by the time you jack the slide a little it has mashed the bullet? If so, where is the round stopping? Is it the first round out of a full mag, or all of them? The nose may be getting mashed because the angle of delivery from the magazine is too shallow. Try bending the topmost coil of the mag spring upwards a little to try to make the nose of the bullet point a little higher.
Your problem also might be a low mag catch shelf.Try holding up on the base pad while loading and see if it feeds better. If it feed significantly better, try a mag catch from another gun. This is a hard test to do while firing though.
Be careful while you work your way through this problem that you don't push the bullets any deeper in the case, as high chamber pressures can result in a blown case.
I'm not sure enough of the details regarding where, when, you see the mashed bullet to suggest more than this. Post more information and I'm sure that someone here can help you out.
Good Shooting,
John Harrison
