Vic, the culprit here is neither your cases nor your bullets. It’s a dimensional flaw of all the M88 Numrich repro clips. These clips are made of slightly thicker metal than the originals, but this is not relevant. The M88 en-bloc clips have a slight outward flange at the front end. Numrich overdid this flange, marked with a blue line in the photo below. Filled with cartridges, this flange makes the package 13.5 mm thick on original clips (left in the photo), but 14.6 mm on the repros. This .04 increase of thickness at the front of the clip is too much for the magazine well of the M88 action. The cartridges are clamped inside the clip and cannot rise properly. To make these repro clips useable you have to reduce the thickness at this flange. You may grind it down, but I simply insert a steel bar into the empty clip and peen the excessive flange flatter with a hammer.
