XDS .45 7rd. mag problems?

I have a SA XDS .45 that I really like.The 5 rd. mags that came with the pistol have been flawless. I have bought 4 of the SA 7rd. extended mags and all 4 of them jam. By jamming, I mean the bullet will not go into battery. It doesn't jam every bullet but every mag will jam at least 1 time. I have sent these mags back to SA. Anyone else had this issue with this mag? Thanks.

added I agree 100% of 5 is way better than anything less with 6 or 7. Not having the pistol in hand makes it hard to diagnose a cure. Once I bought a AMT Hardballer from a friend. He gave me a 15 round magazine that never worked for him. I de-burred then insides and with my reloads using the Lyman 452370 it at the 100% once I adjusted the seating depth. The factory 7 round also worked better with the tuned rounds.
added 2 Tell them what exactly ammo you expect the pistol to run flawlessly with the fixed 7 rounder magazines.
I received my 4 new 7rd.45acp mags from SA and took them to the range yesterday and today. I used different ammo both factory and reloads, FMJ and JHP. I had only 1 7rd. mag fire all 7 rds. I tried my 5 rd. mags and they were flawless as usual.
When the gun jams, the bullet looks like it is at to steep of an angle to go into battery causing it to jam. The jams occur on any of the 7 bullets, there is no pattern to the jams. I have fired the same ammo in my other 45's and never had a problem. Am I and fullcaseload the only ones that have had this problem?
I am going to contact SA again tomorrow and hope for a solution. I have some photos of the jams if you want to see them contact me. I will be sending the photos to SA tomorrow also. I hope we can get this worked out, I really like this pistol.
I went to the range and out of 4 7rd. mags, 3 failed to feed the 1st round! I only had 1 of 4 mags that fired all 7 rds. next best was 3 rounds fired. I refuse to believe they fired the pistol after the work they did. The 5rd. mags were all flawless as usual. I called them but they were closed, I emailed them and asked to have someone from CS contact me. I love the pistol and it is accurate for a 3" barrel. Hope this issue can be resolved soon. I think a 5th RMA to SA is in order. to be continued......
I received my XDS 45 today from SA, the paperwork said they had recut the locking block and barrel ramp and polished the ramp. They said they shot the pistol and all was fine.

You might find out what ammo they were using, to test the pistol? I've had feeding problems in the past with blunt nosed H-P bullets.
Certain ammo manufacturers. Make personal protection bullets with either a plastic plug or radius noses that don't hang up in my guns. Remington Golden Sabers and Hornady Critical Defense, come to mind. I'm sure that their others, that also make similar bullets.
