Hey Guys and Gals!
I'm positive that this subject has been addressed a lot, but it's been a while since I've posted and I have pictures. I figured we all like pictures so I decided to post this thread/ask a question.
I have two XD45 pistols and each show the same problem. The rounds nose dive in the magazine body or on the lower-end on the feed ramp. I have tried FOUR different factory 13 round mags and each has had this problem. Each of these mags has 200-300 rounds through them each.
My thinking is, if it is happening with both pistols with good mags then it probably is an ammo issue.
My ammo:
230gr. lead round nose
5.4 gr. of Unique
mixed cases
win. primers
OAL: 1.257" (I know I'm within the OAL min/max dimensions)
ave. velocity: 862fps
I've used this load for my two 1911 pistols and have never had a problem.
*Also, the earth/tan framed XD45 I just recently bought used. The guy I bought it from I've known for 23 years. He's known for running his handloads a little hot. Anyway, the 13 round mag he gave me with the pistol has a little protrusion on it. The mag body is slightly bulging out at the rear of the mag near the feed lips. I know this issue has been addressed before. It's from running +P ammo through it, right?
I would appreciate any help or suggestions on these issues!
Thanks!
