At least relying on SOMEONE ELSE's reloads. One of my previous threads documented feeding issues I was having with my accurized 1911 Colt .45 auto, i.e. its fussy eating habits. I seem to have solved that by sticking with factory FMJ hardball. Big thanks again to those who offered suggestions and advice.
Moving on to the next piece I'd like to be certain of reliability with, my 9mm SBR. It too sometimes jams at the feed ramp. Interestingly, not on the first round up, but pretty consistently on the second. Personally, I'm not a big fan of owning a gun I might have to count on, but not able to trust for reliability. For the record, this is bone-stock, as provided by the manufacturer (IMI), with a general reputation for dependability even in adverse conditions. In other words, it should be pretty forgiving.
Attached is a picture of a couple of the culprits. I showed them to several of the range masters and one of them identified the problem pretty quickly. It's probably really hard to see in the picture, but see if anyone can discern what the issue is. My title should give you a starting clue. I'm now wondering if the same thing was happening to my .45, since it's very likely the same person did the reloading on all of the reloaded ammo I purchased at the time. This was decades ago, so no way of finding out. Thanks for looking.
