500 rounds, another WWB FTF - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

FleeToTheCleve · 05-19-2008, 12:48 PM

At about the 100th round when I first started shooting my gun, a WWB 165gr FMJ jammed half way into the breach. I figured it was a one time fluke in the bullet. Just the other day, at about the 500th round, the exact same thing happened with yet another 165gr WWB FMJ bullet. The positioning of the bullet when it jammed was identical to the first time. I never hear of anyonee having problems with WWB and the XD, but I will never be buying it again. Remington rounds have been flawless.

I've probably shot around 700 rounds and havent had any issues with either of my 9mm

165gr.? arent the WWB's 115? are you talking about 9mm?

ForTehNguyen · 05-19-2008, 12:54 PM

im going to take a guess that 165gr is possibly .40, .45 are 230gr correct?

Was this a FTF or FTE?

Does barrel length affect an issue like this? Noob question I know, but does, say, a 5" barrel have less of an angle when the bullet is brought forward from the magazine than a subcompact?

Just trying to learn more about the inner workings.

I have the 4" .40 and I have gone threw several thousand rounds of wwb and never had one to jam or not fire. I have been nothing but satisfied.

ForTehNguyen · 05-19-2008, 02:53 PM

the slide draws back after a round is fired the same distance (to open the ejection port for the casing) in either 3" to 5" barrel guns so I dont see the angle being any different.
