Normally I get help from these members when I have challenging difficulties in reloading, I hope that’s the case this time.
I have been reloading for my wife’s for years. I recently obtained some Remington 88 grain HP’s that I wanted to load for her Glock 42 for plinking. Started at the low end of the ladder (2.9 grains of SR 7625) and while I find accuracy excellent the rounds won’t eject the spent cartridge. Each round has to be manually ejected for the next round. Went up the ladder several times using different loads. These last ones I have at 3.3 graiins of SR 7625 (the only one I’ve tried) per the Speer manual ( they’re accurate, but hot loads) and still won’t cycle the glock. Re-cleaned he gun with the same results. Trimmed the brass to the recommend size, and also tried using max length cartridges. Still won’t eject. I should say that I’m a little biit restricted in my choice of powders it’s about the ONLY thing I haven’t tried.
So if anyone knows a secret t making the 88 grain week in the Glock please share it. They were a fairly cheap buy but if I can’t make them work I would be glad to sell them to anyone who has a gun in which they’ll work.
