I have recently started loading .45s for my Springfield XD. It has absolutely no problems with any hard cast or jacketed RN boolits but will not cycle reliably with any SWCs I throw at it. I have tried various OALs without much luck. They seem the most reliable at around 1.240 but still jam it up pretty often. I am stuck with Unique until my powder orders come in and have been using loads ranging from between about 6.0 - 7.0 grains (most of the SWCs I have are 200 grain hard cast lead). I have fiddled with the crimp a little but, I am using the same crimp on my RN boolits with no issues.
Anyone else have success with SWCs for an XD who knows the secret?
