I'm a big fan of the Plunk Test. I bought some Ibejiheads coated 124 CNBB 9's to try out. BTW, these are great bullets and my post has nothing to do with slamming them. I'll be buying more. I have 4 9's that I shoot and removed the barrel from each. I loaded to a COL of 1.120-25 and and with 3 barrels this was OK with the Plunk Test. But when I dropped the round into my Walther PPX barrel, there was no plunk and the bullet wouldn't release itself with the barrel upside down. Fast forward to shortening the COL to 1.090-95 and the plunk magic happened. I figure the chamber in the PPX is of the short CZ variety and was content on making rounds specifically for it and keeping the 1.120-25's for the other 3.
But out at the range I decided to try out the 1.120-25's in the PPX. It ate the 1.090-95 variety just fine as well as the 1.120-25's! There was no problem with feeding-shooting-ejecting the longer rounds. I shot about 40 of them.
Can I continue to use the longer COL rounds in the PPX?
