Where abouts in Staffordshire are you?

First start with the Mag.
Load it up, then pushout the pellets with dowel.
Make sure they pushout with any catching.

Next check the breech of the barrel.
Some pellets like Bis-Mags are harder,
The may cause lead transfer when loading!
This can cause the breech to lead up to the point of extremely hard to load!!

Also check the alignment of the inner and outer pellet probes.
Make sure they are straight and concentric to the bore..

Other than that...It may need a check up with KevG..

Good Luck,
Stuart

Is the scope low and touching the magazine and preventing it locating correctly?

Sounds like a fault with the pellet probe could be a pellet fallen back inside blocking the outer probe, does the bolt cycle correctly with no mag ?
can you hold the outer so the inner probe pushes out
