I just bought a Springfield Mil Spec 1911 last saturday. I picked up a box of 230gr Speer Gold Dots, and a box of 230gr FMJ Winchester with it. I fired 3 mags of the Winchester Saturday without any issues. Two mags slow, and one rapid. I was pretty much just doing a quick function check.
Today I loaded up the empty mag with the hollow points and when I tried to chamber one it wouldn't chamber. What happens is when the slide comes forward to pick up a round, the round goes nose down. I can get one to chamber if I play with it enough. The feedramp on the barrel doesn't really seem to be the problem, since the round never gets that far.
So how do I fix this? If I used a more modern mag like a Wilson Combat would the round feed?
Or should I just give up on hollow points and run ball since its a 1911 and thats what it was designed to shoot?
