Hatsan BT .30 magazines

So I own a few Hatsan airguns, some can be frustrating at times, my usual problems are centered around magazines.
Today’s frustration was brought on by my 30 caliber being unable to index even one time without pellets either jamming in the breech or falling out enough to jam the magazine from rotating.
My 35 caliber worked flawlessly yesterday which made this an even bigger cause to be angry.
So both magazines that came with my 30 caliber were having these issues, so I looked into buying some new ones, but before I did I wanted to read some reviews, apparently someone else had issues with pellets not staying in place, the fix is as simple as replacing or reseating the o-rings in the magazine.
I reseated mine with the tip of a pen and ran 3 pellets at a time for 9 pellets and then full 7 round magazine, problem solved for now. I may experiment with thicker o-rings, but first I will need to buy some.

If this is the BT 65 carnivore, their magazines have had issues since day one of their arrival for sale. I bought mine in .357 when they first came out, most of my problems were pellets staying the magazine and lining up with the lead. Indexing was another problem due to the pellets shifting the magazine. The way the o ring is on the magazine it won't allow the pellet to stay in one place. Push the pellet to far and the pellet pops out and causes the jamming issue, or not far enough in and the pellet gets loaded at an angle causing accuracy issues with the gun. Unfortunately, this gun has become a backyard plinker, I don't feel comfortable enough to hunt with it. I was hesitant in buying the Hercules for fear of the same thing happening but so far the magazines load and retain the pellets properly. No problems with indexing either. I'd hoped that Hatsan would have fixed that issue by now but it seems that this is still an on going issue with the BT.

Even after reseating the o-rings I still have to watch my pellets, I do prefer shooting my carnivore in 35 caliber, I have to recycle about 1/3 of the pellets from the 30 with how deformed they get.
