Spend $50.00 on a dremmel and buy a small tube of Flitz metal polish and with a cloth bit polish the feed ramp and chamber of your barrel and have no worries.I polish the feed ramp and throat of every weapon I own,I have never had a FTF or FTE in any of my weapons in 21 years with factory ammo.

Wolf ammo. At a local range here in SpokaVegas about 6 months ago a Service XD40 was locked shut after heating up around 250 rounds!. This was due to the coating on the wolf ammo. It melted after shooting so many rounds fast and locked a LIVE round into the chamber. Sharp Shooter(local range) folks tryed to open it no luck. They called me!!! So the guy came to my home with one in the chamber and I opened it up with a mallet. This can be very dangerous. So he wont ever use Wolf again..
