Oxidation. Get some wash n wax it will make a huge difference

BE-86. I like 5.6 grains under a RMR MPR COL of 1.080

Not unless it was family. And I had 2 co-workers approach me after hearing me talk to a friend about loading some 9 for a range trip with him. I offered to teach them how and Loam them books but they lost interest shortly after one asked again I told him no it’s illegal & he got over it.

They are crimped .470 & those are dummies no prime or powder. Just for plunk & feed test.

I shoot plated 200grain RMR round nose without issue but it’s @ 4.9-5.0 grains. I could down load A few of those and see. Not sure that would show much though.

4.6 grains of bullseye Went with 17 since I contacted Sig sauer and they said that was the stock spring. Jams with Bullet in barrel almost looks like I could slap it into battery but I choose not to. sometimes I can empty the mag 7-8 rounds but no rhyme or reason or consistency between mags...

Been trying for about a year different Bullets COLS.

Recoil spring is a 17lb Wilson combat only about 200 rounds. the mag springs seem ok the trip research is only got about 50-75 rounds No set back that I’ve measured cycling by hand anyway. Tried your test no issues or hesitation very smooth. yes I have been using a lee FCD.

it seems to be a feed issue I can chamber the first round always shoot 1-4 and it gets jammed up out of battery & I have to drop the mag and pull the slide to clear it out. I can hand cycle dummy rounds like in the photo all day no issues with all the mags

Currently I’ve tried a 200grain acme hitek Coated SWC and a shooters SWC. The acme is at 1.230 to plunk and spin & the old shooters cast SWC @ 1.235. Tried chip McCormick trip research & Wilson combat mags. Still very sketchy at best.

I know this is the reloading forum but I figure you folks who actually shoot 185-200grain semi-wadcutters. Could help me out. I’m looking into getting a good 1911 that feeds semi wadcutters out of the box without ramp work and or throating . I have a fantastic Sig 1911 nightmare fastback 5”...

RMR, Berry’s & Hornady

Love it In 9mm my favorite Target load in 9mm is a 124grain RMR match winner seated @1.080 over 3.9grains out of my Walther Q5.

Well times look like they may get lean for awhile so I picked up couple of pounds of WST to tinker with in 45acp. Figured I’d start with RMR 200grain plated Bullets for poking holes in paper at the range. Anyone have experience with this combination? thought it would be good idea to have...
