Some grind the feed trough out to make it work, but that has been the cause of a number of block failures---after all the breech block is technically the locking lugs.

I have seen this done as well and have wondered that if the loaded cartridge is just too big to turn the corner if maybe shaving the rim of the brass on one side could be just enough to get chambered. Maybe cut on a radius from the rim edge on the opposite side. Of course it would be critical to load with the shaved side down but if the trough was a good fit to this contour, it would ride right down until chambered and the extractors would still have full rim width to work on.
Kind of silly, I know, but if there were that cartridge that you just had to have that almost fit in a cadet...
