Finally got to get the Sig Cross .300 win mag to te range today.

Right off the bat I could not get the cartridge to load. I noticed the belt on the brass was catching the the cartridge below it and forcing the bullet tip down and it would hang up.

Do I need to stagger the cartridges in the clip?
Never messed with belted brass before before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Shooting Hornady 200gr ELDX.
Do manage to get a 1.097 moa at 100yds. I was pleased with that.
