I'm a new reloader and have been having some trouble with my .45's. I've been shooting them in a Ruger P345, a Taurus PT145, and a Hi-Point .45. I started with 185gr lead SWC and they would not feed at all in either the ruger or turus but worked great in the Hi-point. I tried different seating depths and nothing worked. When I got the rounds into the chamber, almost every round was a misfire in theTaurus. I could put those same bullets in the ruger or hi -point and they worked just fine, besides the feeding. I have since tried 220 gr. lead flat points and had similar results. I loading 100 rounds of jacketed hollow points and all three guns fired and fed those without a hitch. I'm not sure what else to try. Same primers were used in all rounds. Could it be that these guns are just very picky about their ammo? I've also loaded several hundred rounds of .40 S & W for my SW sigma and have not had a single misfire or feeding issue.
If anyone has some suggestions I'd appreciate it.
Thanks, Brian
