So far its run well in every gun I've ever tried it in, and that's also a potential cheap alternative to CCI mini-mags.
To answer the question, large cap drum magazines can be picky:
Does your gun cycle well with NORMAL magazines? If not, break it down, clean well, lube gently, inspect the chamber for dirt or metal burrs, then repeat your test.
Assuming your gun works fine with normal magazines, try a different ammo. Slight differences in bullet nose shape can affect feeding reliability, and differences in bullet velocity can affect cycling reliability (ie some guns need more 'oomph' to cycle properly).
In *general* 40 grain solid round nose bullets *usually* work well in most guns, especially high velocity ones.
The cheap hollowpoint 36 grain ammo you buy in bulk in the milk carton like containers is notoriously bad at cycling many semi-auto guns.
If new ammo doesn't work, you MIGHT be able to tweak the magazine feed lips to help feeding. This would be an absolute last resort.
One thing you can do just to check feeding is to try and cycle the rounds through the gun manually. Obviously you must do this outside with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! If you get jams doing that, you can try to look closely and see where the bullet is getting hung up and how to fix it.
