I brought 200 rounds of .45 acp blazer brass with me.
Sig p220 and RIA 1911 Tac were the firearms of choice that day.
RIA shot through everything fine. P220 was working fine...until halfway through the session.
The rounds stopped feeding. racking the slide = no feed. The round would nose dive upwards, jamming up the gun. Some of the ejected brass had some hardcore dents about halfway through the casing. I finished up the session with the 1911 and it ran 100%.
I cycled some Ranger LEO ammo through the sig and it fed fine. So its an ammo problem right? But I am a bit ticked that the Sig would be picky whereas an economic-supposedly finicky style Rock Island fed fine.
So, I should polish the feed ramp and get a stronger recoil spring right? What kind/brand of spring should i look for?
Anyone else have a picky p220 (mines west german euro heel mag release btw) or have troubles with blazer brass in .45?
