I put 100 WWB from WalMart down the barrel 3 days before without any malfunction. I put 500 down my XD-9 Service (got those from Bass Pro) without any problems as well.

The gunsmith said he thinks it was a feeding malfunction... That maybe the case wasn't against the back of the magazine and when it loaded, it pulled it in at a bigger angle that what it would normally do. He said everything else looked fine though, so we're good to go for this weekend.
From the pictures I would have to disagree it still looks like the case is still flared and the cartridge did not go through the crimping part of the process. I have seen this many times when reloading and I was interupted in mid process, I usually catch these as soon as I do it. I can easily see this happening in a high volume process and getting past the visual inspection. I don't think there is anything wrong with your gun or the way the bullets were in the mag. It is a good practice to seat the bullets in the magazine by smacking it on the heal of your hand.

I agree with the post above. As a reloader it doesn't look like enough of a taper crimp was applied to the case after the bullet was seated. Did you bring the bullet to the gunsmith? If he saw it and thought it was a problem with the gun then I would not go back to him. Compare the problem round with any other 9mm round and you will probably notice the bad round has more "flare" around the mouth of the case.

Thanks for the info... I checked the other bullets in the box and they all look ok... I do seat them by smacking the fully loaded magazine in my hand before loading the magazine in the gun.

We'll just assume this was a fluke...
