Round wont chamber. . . words of wisdom welcome ;)

[raddiver]

I just cant seem to figure it out. Im sure you guys could shed some light on the issue though.

Thanks






On a more serious note, this is my first collector round. So im proud of it.

Just polish the feed ramp and it'll be fine.



What is it, exactly? It's very interesting.

 

[Exposure]

Looks like a sabot round for the M1 Abrams main gun if I had to guess. Very cool!

 

[Walkalong]

The FCD will fix that.

Just polish the feed ramp and it'll be fine.

The feed ramp is best polished from the inside !!

It's obviously a sizing die set up improperly.

 

[Tim the student]

It may be the crimp too.

 

[mbruce]

It's critical to know if it's the first round or the last round from the magazine that causes it not to chamber.... we really need more info.

 

[LiveLife]

The OAL is too long. If you look close, you can see that round has marks from hitting the rifling.

So, what's the starting charge on that load?

And how would you chrono the round? Still 15 feet from the muzzle ... blast?

need a stronger recoil spring!

It's those cheap Lee dies.

I had a link for the difference between .380 and 105mm. I'll see if I can find it.
Some guys say its the same, doesn't matter, blah bla blah. Maybe you could email Keltec in the mean time.

Don't substitute non magnum primers.
You better get some more case lube, at least a gallon mixed up in a bug sprayer. Put 3 of those in a trash bag and lube them the easy way.

Its your sloppy Rock Chucker. Get a Dillon and be done with it. It should chamber right up with, oh say, 700,000gr of Power Pistol. Should make one hell of a fireball, too.

oh say, 700,000gr of Power Pistol.

I use Bullseye or Unique.
Think i need to change my metering insert?

Kelbro: im switching out to RCBS i think.

WNTFW: let me know when you find that link. I like to read up as much as i can. can never be too careful, ya know?

And for those that asked, its a 120mm Sabot round.
Just thought you guys might get some enjoyment out of it.

Another 1/4 turn on your sizing die and it will feed like butter.

 

[nm3]

I think you need an aftermarket barrel for that round to work.

 

[Visionz45]

whats the charge weight? and where did you come up with cordite?

 

[mbruce]

it would fire out of a Glock

 

[Crashbox]

Looks to me like an expanding die was used AFTER the bullet was seated-

I wonder which shell plate would be needed for my LnL AP...

 

[NELSONs02]

The feed ramp is best polished from the inside !!

Is that a Weatherby Mark V?

 

[gamestalker]

Um, I saw a post on the Firearm Blog where a guy was having problems with 50 BMG chambering. He used a sledge hammer to blow the rifle up.

 

[MarcoPolo]

Having a bad day at work, this thread just brought a smile to my face!

Thanks to everyone for giving me a good laugh.

How about a 100,000 round "torture" test?

 

[mbruce]

How about a 100,000 round "torture" test?

HAHA...may be a pricey test....will need a bigger Ransom Rest.

Rumor has it that the new Navy rail gun is mounted on a Glock frame. They said it was more accurate when shot from a Glock polygonal barrel and only the Glock Polymer could withstand the heat of the lazer....

 

[dagger dog]

How many inches does it seat off the lands?

Do you think Ranchdog can make a mold for me ?
