Bevel is on 'rear' of Krag rim.
U.S. made .30-40 brass, usually, retains this feature.
Neat 'charger' you made. Kind of looks like Italian Vetterli 'charger'.
I can't 'ID' your side-plate from inside. I have to see front edge.
If you have access to another model 1898 Krag, (that is free of feed problems), switch out parts and test function.
FWIW - I'm suspicious of your side-plate.
