Hey everyone, its been a long time since my last post, but here we go....
So I was down at the range here in Las Vegas firing some reloads with my neighbor. And my XD suffered from "NUMEROUS" failures to feed. Specifically the bullet tip would stick on the feed ramp keeping the gun in an open bolt position. The bullet would be slightly "pinched" downward, with primer close to the right position and the tip on the frame feed lip. The feed lip is "very" smooth and nice and polished. W/ a firm bash on the magazine butt the round would seat properly and fire.
Before today my gun has never had a single failure of any kind.
The gun: .357 SIG service model, notably the gun was a bit dry, but IMO it shouldn't be an issue; the way I see it is i should be able to dump 5K rounds thru the gun w/out cleaning.
My PREVIOUS outing I should 400 factory bullets w/out a hitch.
Thisw outing w/ about 200 bullets we had at least 10 FTFs, all reloads from the same batch.
I am thinking the bullets were slightly out of spec, and maybe the bullets were not backspaced correctly in the case. I kept a 50 round pack from the same batch just to test.
What do you guys think?
