Well, then we are back to the reloads.Muddydogs said:Pistol functions fine until these reloads
Interesting ...Jeepman007 said:I am experiencing the exact issue the Op is. Only difference is 124gr in a G19.
Unique ... 4.7g, ... box of 50, ... 5 failures to extract. Would drop the slide on the rnd without stripping.
5.7g. ... had the same effect ... double feeding with the spent shell still in the chamber ... recoil was on the +p side ... I felt it was to much recoil, and I had my reservations due to the amount of space in the casing the powder took up.
50 rnds with 5g ... had the same double feed issue. Cases still in chanber, round trying to feed.
I put 50rnds of factory thru it right after without any issue. And this gun has never given any issue. 13k rnds and counting. Only my reloads are an issue.
After reading this posting, I am starting to think Unique is maybe not a good powder for 9mm. The pressures might not be coming down fast enough with the recoil impulse causing the case to stick the moment of release causing the extractor to jump the rim.
Just to reiterate, never 1 issue with any factory loaded ammo. Everything from Federal/Winchester/PMC and even Wolf to name a few I have put thru it over the years.Interesting ...
Have you experienced same extraction issue with other powder reloads?
They are from Youngs Enterprises out of Orange City FLJeep man. Wild guess. Are u using rainiers bullets?
Anyway. It sounds to me u can afford to double check your scale. If 5 gr behind 124 jacketed bullet is making your G19 choke like that, something is wrong, somewhere.
So you had the same extraction problem with other powders than Unique?GLOOB said:I've have the exact same problems with my G27. With 40SW and 9mm (LW conversion). Always when I'm exploring top end load data. Same "problem" loads always work fine in all my other handguns, including the G26/7's bigger brothers. Most recently I had this happen with a 125 gr 9mm cast load with Unique that was on the hot side ...
... same problem, same gun, cast bullets, and with Unique, all like OP
Slide strips another round from the magazine but the spent case is still in the chamber
If they stick to modern load info, they'll be fine.If other THR members have Glock 26, 115/124/125 gr bullets and Unique
You might be correct. Gonna try to lower the powder down and pay more attention to the results if I have the same feeding issues. Being the first run was with 4.7, I may have thought under powered but may have been over powered. Will let ya know the results.If they stick to modern load info, they'll be fine.
OP was using what's probably ancient Lyman load info on an unusual 105gr SWC. I bet it's too hot, is all. Or being a SWC, maybe the info was tailored for a 9mm revolver. (Revolvers have to watch for peak pressure is all, not cycling momentum). And/or maybe it's just time for him to change some springs in the lil G26.
Jeep was using jacketed data to load plated bullets. And he started at the max. I've been there and done that with the same results. Even when he dropped down to 5 gr, that's still over max for a 124 gr CAST bullet, and there's possibly some stress to the extractor spring already done. Some plated bullets have a thicker plate and can be shot like jacketed, but maybe Jeep's bullets aren't so thick. Still, I'm a bit surprised since he was using the larger G19.
I'm confident this doesn't have anything to do with Unique. It's all I shoot with my 115 JHPs and my 124 gr Berrys (for which I do use jacketed data, unlike Rainiers). And my 180 gr cast 40SW loads. Nary a problem in my Glock 26/7/19 when sticking to the books.
If they stick to modern load info, they'll be fine.

evan price December said:Today, sat down and cast a thousand more of the little 105-SWC boolit. Once I get that 6-cavity mold going it just chugs them out.
Lead was Range scrap approx. BHN 12.
Tumble-lubed in 50-50 ALOX & mineral spirits before and after sizing.
Sized with Lee push-through sizer .357, which leaves them .356" and just right.
Loaded over 4.8 grains of PROMO powder in nickel range brass and Wolf SP primers.
Nice shooting load, accurate, clean burning, no leading to see, ejected brass looked almost unfired.
Why does everyone assume that everyone else is an idiot or has no idea what there doing?
