I'm going to play around some more with these pills. Bought a long time ago and never loaded them up. Finally out of my Missouri 185 hitek button bullets.
Loaded to 1.235 oal which has about a fingernail above the shoulder. Note there is a decent size radius on the shoulder so there may be more room to shorten then up
Loaded up four dummy's and fed them through the sig sauer max 1911, all good.
4.7 grain bullseye which I plan to back down some as the power isn't needed.
Issue: using the sig supplied 8 round Wilson combat mags. If I put more than five in they fail to feed. Kind of bind up on the brass on the transition from feed ramp to battery.
Only put five in, no issues.
I've read about different mags and changes in magazines feed lips allowing more diverse profiles to feed but never ran into this personally.
Any thoughts to if the mag is more the issue vs the cartridge? The load is hotter than required and I'l back it down some and also try and shorten it up some to see if oal helps. Just brainstorming here.
Don't plan on getting anymore of these as even though they are swc they tear up the paper targets much more than the Missouri bullet profile.
Thanks for any thoughts and wisdom.
