Just pointing out though infrequent it can occur. The ones that have had it jumped through a number of hoops to cure it. That one time I made it occur in mine I loaded shorter rounds out of echelon on purpose. Snapping the door closed righted them all except in the case when the muzzle was pointed down. As pointed out by parashooter in an old thread with original length loaded rounds all will be in echelon automatically. The case bevel is maybe a failsafe in case something got out of kilter with particular rounds or a especially dirty or out of tolerance Krags. We have seen the bevel in the photos of very old military and commercial ammo, if you ask me it should be there on every case made for a Krag. Sometimes a mistake (without a bevel) will work for most people but not always.
