Good work and good for you for getting into it. A lot of different bolt action rifles benefit from this. In the old days gunsmiths were pretty used to doing these things, polishing the feed ramp, opening up feed rails a few thousandths, getting bolt-action rifles to feed like butta. But those skills are mostly lost these days. A Dremel with felt wheel is generally the best and fastest option but on some rifles I've used an abrasive wheel to lower the edge of the feed ramp, followed by the aforementioned felt wheel. It's pretty easy to see where you need to cut--just remove the metal where the bullet nose is hanging up.
If it's a problem with the cartridge body hanging up, rather than with the bullet nose riding roughly on the feed ramp, sometimes slightly widening the receiver feed rails (go very carefully here), say 5-10 thousandths at a time, will make a real difference. Target area is generally about mid-way down the feed rail, right where the cartridge is released from the magazine. But always best to start with looking at where the bullet nose hits the ramp and how it rides into the chamber.
