My favorite load for my 1911 is 6.0 grains Unique behind a 200 TMJ bullet. I currently use a 18.5 Wilson recoil spring. What's happening is that occasionally the spent case will turn 180 degrees and then get jammed in the ejector well.
I'm thinking maybe I need a lighter recoil spring. This doesn't happen with my 220St Sig, so maybe my replacement spring is too strong.
Question #1: What would be a good strength spring for light to moderate loads?
Question #2: If I occasionally pop some factory loads in (with a lighter spring), will they harm the frame with battering?
