I noticed someone said they have a Stevens 325, I have a Stevens 325B, What would be the cause of a feeding problem with that rifle? I can load the first and third round ok, but the 2nd always jams, damaging the projectile. In turn making it extremely inaccurate. Was the 325B made only to fire FMJs?

Not Krag related, and I'm not a gunsmith, further I own exactly 1 aforementioned animal (325C), but my two minutes of knowledge on them:
The Stevens 325 was only chambered in .30-30.  Scratching the recesses of my brain I'm thinking that "spruce, Northwest, Winchesters, WW1" are about the only chance for .30-30 FMJ to exist?  So it's chambered for .30-30 soft-point hunting bullets.

The 325 (A) (B) have a different machining in the receiver than the 325(C) and Savage 340s.  325s are '47-'50 with Savage picking them up (340) and dropping the Stevens branded ones in '50.

That different machining affects the magazines - later magazines (325C and 340) won't fit early 325s correctly.  Removing some metal permits them to work.

Heck if I know, it's a family gun I never shoot as I have other, interesting, guns.  Uncle returns from WW2, buys deer gun, sticks in closet and never hunts.  55 years later aunt gives gun to me.  End of history.
