InB4: Yes, I could theoretically shoot lighter ammo, but I don’t want to. I want to shoot big fat slugs.

So, I love my NSA slugs, I have a .25 Armada, but these 55gr NSA fat boys do not go into the breach easily. Not at all. I gotta jimmy, jiggle, jam, and push the bolt to get it in, followed by a Judo chop. They shoot just fine, but the level of effort required to seat them hurts my delicate, tiny hands.
I loaded this one, then backed it out with a cleaning rod, and took a picture. I don’t know why, it just seemed right at the time.
I got one suggestion to have a gun-smith alter the lead-in, but I’m also wondering if perhaps there’s a good purpose-build slug barrel for Armadas / Marauders?
