Long time lurker, first time poster! Go me!
Pre-panic, against my better judgement, I bought 2000 of the MBC 155 gr SWC because the interwebs said people load them in semi-autos without a problem.
Well I'm finally out of .40 and it's time to load these up. I'm really having a hard time getting the OAL right so they'll feed.
I started at 1.125, they hand-fed from the magazine well. At the range about 6/20 wouldn't chamber. I ran some 1.135 and 1.145 and both cycled 8/10 at the range. I came home, I decided let's try shorter. 1.110 only cycled 7/15 while shooting, but hand cycled just fine at home.
It looks like the round goes up the ramp, but doesn't want to turn down into the barrel. Tomorrow I might go longer, maybe see how close to the rifling I can get.
Any advice or suggestions? Or does my LWD barrel for my Glock 22 and SWC just not play nicely?
