King Arms Thompson 1928 has feeding issues w/heavier pellets

OK, so for a couple of months now, I've owned a King Arms Thompson Model 1928 (the one with the charging handle on top, not the M1-style charging handle that most 1928 airsoft replicas have), and barring an instance where it had to be sent back for repairs after running away on me during a game, it's been treating me well. However, today, I used .28 gram pellets with it instead of the .25 gram pellets that I usually use in my AEGs because I felt that since it was already doing an average of 330-335 FPS with the .25s, then going up a little in weight wouldn't hurt. However, because of that, it's been having feeding issues. Before anyone asks: 1. I have been winding the drum mag all the way, and 2. I haven't tried the three hi-cap stick mags today that I bought as backups.

BLS bbs batches for themselves are better than their batches for rebrand it seems.

I think you'll notice a large improvement.

I should hope so, because it sucks pulling the trigger and having nothing shoot out of the gun when the mag is fully-wound.

That is due to BLS maintaining a reputation...unlike others who don't care.
UPDATE: So today, I did a brief test firing session with the BLS pellets in my Tommy Gun, and there wasn't a single misfire among them. Actually, to be honest, the reason I bought .28 gram pellets in the first place was because that gun's hopup is gonked; even with it cranked all the way down, .25 gram pellets would still travel upwards a bit at longer ranges.

Ta-dah!
FURTHER UPDATE: Today, I got to do my first proper field test with the new pellets, and there wasn't a single misfire...provided I was using the drum mag that came with the gun. I had also bought three hi-cap stick mags as backups, and during one game, I ran out of pellets in the drum mag and put in a stick mag, but only two pellets would come out before it stopped feeding, and it happened with a second stick mag. I swear, I wound the mags all the way, too.
You may have a compatibility issue where the detente isn't releasing in the Hicap Mag.

Are you referring to the little tab where if I wind the mag up and push on it, then the pellets will release?
Yes.
