has anyone tried slotting a mag, like the ultimate cliploader?
left and right hand slots that hold the rim and a smaller follower that only pushes on the middle forward?
that way the rounds are kept in line without being mashed together, and they would be guided up to the top.
where they come together would be staggered at the top to prevent jamming.
the slot would be like the part in the ultimate clip loader that just holds them back from falling all the way through.

every 22 lr mag seems to only be single stack. even drums and such are just wrapped up single stack mags.

I think it could work like this:

The Rim had something to do with it.

When you have a cool idea that could make you a lot of money, don't post it on the internet.

But when you have a silly idea that won't work it's okay to do so, as it invites scorn and ridicule.

Edit: Not to mention amusement for others.

It's not just the rim unfortunately, it's the ratio of the rim to the overall length of the round that determines a stacking angle, and you can see what that angle comes to in almost any 10/22 25 round Butler Creek or BX-25 magazine.

The Keltec PMR-30 gets two stacks of 15 working in their magazines, but that's aided by the fact they use .22mag, and not .22LR, which again reduces the stacking angle.

with a divider, it forces them to stack a specific way.
more organized then just however it stacks up.
at least it would be reproducable so you can figure out what is wrong.

The 15-22 mags stagger the bullets.

The old Ramline mags semi-staggered the bullets.

The big problem is the rims getting hooked together - if the rim of the top round is behind the rim of the next round, you will get a feed failure. I don't know that your feed slot would solve this.

The .22 mags for the Uzi and MAX-11/22 are straight and have a pseudo-double-stack arrangement that is workable if you load carefully to avoid rim lock.
