Open up the front of the feed lips a bit until you get a more nose high orientation. The carbines seem to be a bit more forgiving with how the round is oriented in the magazine.
JCP issue
recently acquired a jcp. owned one previously that i sold and regretted selling it ever since, (can never have too many guns), so picked up another. only took my first to the range one time, and put around 75 rounds thru it with no problems. the new one? uh, not so much. have had nosedive issues from day 1.
10 rounds in the mag and i get this every time. reduce it to 5 and it rarely nosedives.
i took the slide off and polished the feed ramp so thats not it.
i have read that adjustments to the feed lips can help but i would rather not mess with that unless theres no other option. hopefully this will improve as the mags break in?
the confusing part is that my 4095 ive had for several months eats whatever i feed it using the same mags. and i always have the mags full with 10 when not in use. any other suggestions i couldnt locate with google?

Well, let's look at three other possibilities.
A. Make sure those two dog- ear tabs up front aren't scraping the projectile.
B. Make sure the round is clearing the plastic spacer strip in front of the follower.
C. Mag sure the mag spring is installed properly. Place your thumb on the spine of the magazine and apply slight downward pressure on the base while sliding a flat tool, butter knives are perfect, in the slot on the base. Lift and you'll feel it pop. Repeat on the other side of the magazine.
Its such a slight adjustment that a pair of needle nose pliers, I prefer curved, will do the trick. Then just a light tweak on the front of the feed lips until the front of the round sits higher.
Read your own first post again. The only clue you've given as to how often you've shot this thing is the aforementioned 75 rounds. You were also told to seat the rounds properly to the rear in the second reply and given all possible fix scenarios to which you've simply taken more pictures and dismissed without trying.i put 75 rounds thru my first hi point with no issues, if you go back and read the original post.
not sure how many rounds thru this one, but im pretty sure its more than 75, and probably closer to 200 than 75. see how it goes at the range tomorrow.
Don't ask for advice if you don't want to accept it for what it is.
