Remington 1100- the first shell is hard to load!

I have a Remington 1100, and if I try to load the first shell in the magazine it is very hard to do. But if I rack the action, or load the first shell in the receiver instead of the magazine, then the rest of the shells load very easily into the magazine. Does anyone know why!?!? Thanks.

  are you hitting the silver button with the shell crimp first?

  If you will read the instructions for the 1100/1187 series of shotguns, they suggest you pull the action bar handle to the rear, engage safety,insert cartridge in chamber, trip bolt release,(chrome plated button located on cartridge lifter in front of guard) then load magazine. From personal expierience, and several thousands of rounds,I know this works.

  SouthernGuard,
  
  'Jody' has the answer to your problem. In other words, with the gun pointed in a safe direction, and with the safety engaged, open the action and load your first round directly into the chamber (instead of the magazine). Next, release the bolt and allow it to close with full force (without holding back on the handle). Then you can easily load the magazine.
