Welcome to the Bersa Pistol Forum Tucson Joe, from Tony in the Lone Star State.
I don't have a 45 but with my 22-32-380 and 9mm I use a pushing action until I hear a click to load my mag for over 20 years now without a problem. That was how I was trained by a E5 while in the US Air Force. I am not sure what a Mag Catch Bushing does since I am more of a User and not a Gunsmith but slamming the mag in may be your problem if you are slamming the mag in.
The mag is loaded and push in with a single motion. The mag is not placed in the pistol and then it is hit into the pistol with the palm. Also make sure the bullet is push back in the mag and not sticking out the front which also may cause a problem.
Hope this helps but if there is another cause of your problem please pass it on.
Best of luck and enjoy your range time.
