The load gate screw on my 91xxxxxx series 336ss chambered in 30-30 keeps loosening after firing only a few shots...plinkers or full power, doesn't matter. The load gate then will want to twist up or down often preventing the next round in the tube from sitting properly/squarely/centered. Sometimes, this means that the carrier doesn't pick up the next round when the action is cycled.
The load gate spring tension is perfectly fine...is there a known reason why that screw keeps backing out or why the gate wants to misalign?
