Having trouble getting my rifle to feed rounds from the magazine. The bolt starts to push the round forward, but the round's base dives as the tip rises into the chamber and the bolt slides over the top.

A few posts suggests removing material from the feed lips. Curious if folks have had success doing this (lots of suggestions, little follow-up). If so, are you taking material off the front of the lips closest to the barrel or on the underside where the mag contacts the case? Is there something else I'm missing?
I'm new to the bolt game, so if this is a case of operator error, I'll gladly take my lumps.
