Some powders just don't aggree with certain pistol actions either. I remember reading a while back in one of my load manuals that AA#2 was giving Glock guys (or some big brand) a lot of trouble because it burns too fast and doesn't create enough slide velocity to appropriately cycle the action. Being that a company like Perfecta likely doesn't always use the same powder in various batches it is totally plausible that some powders are faster than others in the same caliber and therefore function differently in different guns/chambers. This could also be why a few people were swearing there was "rifle powder" in their Perfecta. My vote goes to either that or the poorly sized projectiles. The ones Ive mic'd were all over the map and as I said before, a tightly fitting projectile will create good velocity and shoot well while a loose bullet will lose pressure early, spit all sorts of fire and junk out the muzzle as well as effect accuracy and felt recoil.I doubt judging an entire brand of ammunition over one experience is rational. No ruptured brass was found? You may have experienced a "Stall". A stall can occur in the timing of a semi auto pistol. The stall can allow the gun to fire with out the slide being in full battery. This can result in some blow back of residue and noise.
