the "+1" doesnt matter... its already in the chamber, it doesnt add any extra perssure.

a full mag on an XD is very stiff and it takes a bit of force to seat it. just slam that bad boy in there and go to town.

Cartridge was "swelled" with two large indentations on each side.

was this a spent cartridge? i dont understand how it can swell and indent at the same time...

This was a live round.

To answer a previous post: Exact sequence of events leading up to failure. Tactical reload left one round in gun, that round fired and ejected, top round of full magazine failed to feed and jammed slide.

did you tap rack? if you did, did the "jammed" round come out and did the following round feed properly?
