Hi guys, I'm not sure I can get a lot of help here but I'm just throwing this out there because I don't know what else to do (besides use factory loads in my AT-9).
I loaded some Raineir 9mm hollow point 124 grain bullets at 1.075 and 1.070 OAL (for two different powders that called for different OAL's in the data).
They fed flawlessly in my Hi-Power but jammed up every time in my Feather Industries AT-9.
I tried feeding my handloaded Raineir FMJ's roundnoses with OAL 1.100 through the AT-9 and they feed great. I tried three different factory loaded bullets through the AT-9 (round nose FMJ, flat nose FMJ and HP's. They all fed flawlessly. The factory loads were all around 1.086 OAL...
So I thought "well, my 1.075 and 1.070 must be too short". I loaded five dummy rounds with the Raineir 124 gran HP's with a 1.100 OAL. JAMMED every time w/ the AT-9. I guess I'll try OAL of 1.086 next...
So can anyone give any suggestions why my handloaded Rainier 124 Grain HP's w/ OAL of 1.075/1.070 won't function in my AT-9??
It's very frustrating, its only that bullet with THAT gun, all the other rounds (handloads and factory) feed great in the Hi-Power.
PS: a factory crimp die was used to crimp all handloads...and the AT-9 uses Uzi mags (yes they are clean and so is the AT-9).
Thanks guys
Steve
