Assuming you are using .300 Savage cartridges, one thought is that that the follower is dented or somehow messed up at that slot. The trouble is that it is not a simple job to remove the follower to check, and even harder to get the magazine back together again with the proper tension on the follower. I don't think it is a DIY job for anyone without experience with that gun.

I suggest finding a gunsmith with experience on those rifles or, if that is not possible, a good set of instructions on how to dis- and re-assemble them.
