I recently purchased a few Brownells mags and been have issues left and right with feeding. The rounds tend to tilt inside of the mag causing failures to feed. I tried replacing the followers with magpul followers but the problem remains the same, the nose of the bullet gets pushed downward inside the mag.

Contact their customer service and send that one back......I have four of those mags and they work great...I even replaced one of the followers with a magpul follower and it works perfect........in my blackout and 556

Magpul makes straight 20rd mag followers?

I got to looking at the magazine and how the floor plate on the Brownells magazine is attached.......on the straight 20 round magazine it attaches like a GI thirty........the floor plates on the GI twenties use a different set up..........I had an extra magpul follower laying around and replaced the Brownells follower in the straight 20 with it...........Works flawlessly..........

Nope.  
Also, straight body 20 round USGI type mags require a follower that does tilt inside the mag body, to accommodate the slight taper of the .223/5.56 round.
