Run a sharpie on your feed ramp per mag and see if 1 needs a feed lip adjustment or spring change.
You may want to profile your ejector a little to promote a specific direction and see how forgiving you can add some slop.

Weigh your mainspring and confirm it's at 20-23lbs depending on type of spring. Delaying cycle dwell time improves feeding, return is entirely up to recoil spring weight.

I don't mind going down to 19lbs for mainspring for improved trigger "feel" but it's not relevant to a feeding issue.
I don't see how a weak/worn mag spring could cause an intermittent not-in-battery issue. A new spring, yes, but not an old one that's been working perfectly.

Mags are Wilson Combat. Feed lips look fine to my eyes, but what the heck do I know.
