Folks, I'm loving my new Beretta Cougar .45 pistola and it happily gobbles up my 230 gr Cast TL loads. They shoot with very nice accuracy. I'm really pleased with that load and will continue to crank out a bunch of them...
I've also put together some 200 gr Cast TL loads. These have an OAL of 1.185 and are powered with 5.6 gr Unique. With these, I get frequent rounds that fail to go fully into battery. (Stopping maybe 1/4" shy of being fully into battery.) This morning I had four out of 25 rounds shot that did that. I can easily push with my thumbs on the end of the slide and it will go ahead and seat as desired. Here's the perplexing thing -- Last night after I loaded these rounds, I removed the barrel from my 8045F and dropped each round into the barrel. They all went in to the proper depth, and by then turning the barrel upside down, they all fell right out. Thus I am surprised to see a few of them act as I've described. Any ideas are welcomed!
