Also, you probably need to put a light coat of oil (or grease) on the magazine tube after cleaning. It makes the gun run smoother and the friction ring will still do it's job. My pre-model 11 shoots pretty much anything now even when set up for heavy loads, and it saves wear & tear on the gun (and shooter).
What grease are you using for that?
There's nothing better than getting paid to look out the window....
