Is your loading nozzle cracked? Usually one would upgrade to a harder loading nozzle if there was a metal slide involved. Take your loading nozzle out and squeeze it between your fingers. It should expose any existing cracks. Any crack would allow gas to spew out.

Also check the tm's magazine gas router. Take apart the magazine to get to the router. You may need to replace it or shim it. The mouth of the gas router is supposed to make a seal with the square hole on the bottom of your nozzle to allow the gas to enter it. A bad seal between the router and the nozzle hole will yield weak shots.

Lastly make sure you're not shooting in really cold weather. Propane is tricky...
