I recently bought a Randall 1911 and have started reloading for it. I have reloaded 230 gr jacketed and 200 gr flat nose Berry's plated. I set the OAL at 1.260 for the 230 gr and 1.200 for the flat nose. My problem is the flat nose when letting the slide go forward shoves the bullet back into the case by about 30 to 40 thousandths of an inch. The round nose will move back less than 10 thousandths. I was having some feed problems with the factory magazine and have tried a triple k, a sig 1911, and a Wilson 47d. and have some problem with all of them on pushing the bullet back into the brass with the stock one being the worse of the bunch. Also have noticed when allowing the slide to move forward slowly the nose of the bullet dips down before the rear clears the feed lips. The main concern is if the bullet is set back into the case when it is being chambered will it cause problems when firing it? Also have read 1911 Tuner's sticky on problems and would love to see pictures or have him write a book about these pistols.
