Hello fellow reloaders,
I've been reloading for about a year now and experienced some stovepipes with my 9mm reloads. I used 4.6g of W-231, 115 gr Berrys plated, OAL 1.161" WSP Primers and mostly Win or Fed brass. Shot this load from my Beretta PX4 Storm.
Oddly, I would get at least 1 stovepipe for every 100 rounds I shot and mostly between shot 50 - 100. Very frustrating. I tried other powders and hotter recipes with the same results.
I recently shortened my oal to 1.150" and have not experienced any stovepipes for the last 300 rounds. Is it possible that the length was too long before? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks partners.
