I have to say I lost a bit of excitement about the thing once I actually handled one of the Hawkeye .375 Rugers. Smooth feeding was not one of it's virtues, especially in comparison to most H&Hs I've handled. This was years ago, so likely with those early rounds. It was also before I heard of your trick of ever so slightly dremeling the start of the chamber.
