FWB AW93 Feeding Issue

Hi
I have been reading through the AW93 post, in particular the feeding issues.
TLDR;
Will it get better as its used more?
My AW93 is new, and a little stiff compared to the club gun, as you would probably expect.
I am still trying to figure out if it is not ejecting correctly or not loading correctly, or both.
The ammo that i have had the most issues with is Geco Semi-Automatic. In some cases when I drop the round into the chamber (with slide removed) it stick out up to 1cm, and would need a good push to get it in.
Ammo from worst to best
- Geco Semi-Automatic 200ish rounds, and it will cycle between 2 and 5 times
- Ely Pistol Match - about 20 rounds. I think 2 failed to feed correctly
- SK - about the same as Ely
-CCI - shot 50 with no issues
I have measured each brand and found that that the geco is quite inconsistent and mostly not round, where as the others seem to be mostly round and the CCI almost always round
Shell diameter
Measured on the brass, just below the bullet
CCI - 5.67 mm or 0.2235 inch
Ely - 5.70 mm or 0.2245 inch
Geco - 5.69 mm or 0.2240 inch
rim diameter
6.90 0.2715
6.89 0.2710
6.88 0.2705
My question, would i expect the feeding to improve after things start to wear a bit more?
Thanks
