Good thoughts all. Thanks.

The day a tool I rely on doesn't feed properly is the day it goes in to a good smith to get fixed or I buy a new one. Bad feeding is far more likely to cause an issue than a bit of a drop in accuracy. The accuracy is easy to test, fire a few five shot groups at 100 yards. If it still groups around and inch to 1 1/2" get the feed fixed. If it doesn't groups that well, I would suggest you get a new gun.
