Spring pressure on aics mags

Just got my first custom rifle completed.

I find if I load aics mags full that there is so much pressure on the top round that cycling the bolt is fairly hard to do.

This is a hunting rifle and I’m considering swapping it out for a Hawkins m5 bdl hinged floorplate.

Would those have as much spring pressure? Are they center feed or staggered.

I’m used to the staggered feed used by browning abolts so this Remington stuff is new to me.

Thanks in advance.
 
They break in a bit in my experience....or I get used to the top round or two feeding harder than I was used to....so, not that I have any answers to your questions but the first few rounds should likely get easier.
