Virgin loader has disfunction

You could also try a lighter recoil spring to help the gun cycle properly

you DON'T want to do that unless you're going to using LIGHTER loads all the time, and are done with load development- just changing the spring can and often does introduce a number of malfunctions , just as going to a heavier spring does- all guns are manufactured for a certain RANGE of bulletweights, and power factors- just that some springs have more oomph than others- play with bullet weights and powder charges BEFORE you go mechanical-
incidentally, as far as the 45 goes, stick to STRAGHT LEAD- you'll NEVER get enough velocity out of that case to justify going to a jacketed round- the ONLY reason i use a jacketed is to clean out the barrel and make it easier to clean the gun at the end- ie you load the BOTTOM round in the mag as a jacketed, but also respect the same bullet weight, oal, and powder charge- that way you don't get a "flyer" at the end of the run
