I just obtained my first 550-1. It shoots great & I really like the rifle!
My problem is that the magazine follower is pointed & when I try to load
shells it slides to the side of the bullet point & becomes jammed against the side of the inner magazine tube. I bought a new inner magazine assembly but it is the same as the old one. I must be missing something.....any help would be appreciated! Would loading an empty case in the magazine as your last shell work? That would let the magazine follower center itself into the
empty shell mouth & then would fit over the rest of the shells in the magazine?

Someone has been sending you the wrong part. my magazine follower on my 550-1 is rounded with a depression for the nose of the bullet to sit in. I will try to get a pic later tonight for you. You could also try filing the point down flat, and see if that helps
