Springfield 1903a3 feed problems

I have a 1903a3, and the feed ramp is shaving a miniscule amount of the brass off the case when feeding. It's also making it hard to chamber the round. I'm trying to find a solution to this problem, any recommendations?

Need to polish the feed ramp. That gun was intended for FMJ bullets.
 
Clemson is right in own several o3a3 one that I have hunted with for over thirty years I had the same problem I used aluminum oxide sandpaper 150 grit to remove small bump in the metal then 220 grit all the way down to 600 grit to Polish it has worked great for years now
