I am new to reloading compared to most of you. I work in a small armory and range. We are reloading the most common rounds for our customers.
The issue I am having is some of the bigger frame Glok's & some other 9mm pistols are having problems. I am using brass from the range all diff brands.
All the brass is being re-sized with a Lee's full length re-sizing die. .001 under
Using 115g lead with brass electroplate with Winchester primers.
I am loading to the top of recommended load which is 4.4 gr using #2 from Accurate and still having issues. Yesterday I loaded 20 bullets using 4.5gr and then another batch of 20 using 4.6gr. The 4.5gr still had issues (not taking the slide all the way back so it would not lock to the rear when empty or the next bullet would jam trying to feed. The 5.6 had 2 out of the 20 miss-feed.
Any help or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
9mm
electroplated (with brass) lead bullets 115g from Berry's
used brass from different manufactures
Winchester Small pistol primers
4.4 to 4.5g Accurate #2
Large frame Glok's and some others seem to be all large frame and older guns but factory loads work fine in them.
