[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3560080, member: 15054"] I will not mention powder and bullet choices as that has been talked about. I will mention OAL for your particular gun. You should do what is called a Plunk test. You should be able to take the first loaded round and drop it into the chamber and it should go all the way in and allow the action to fully close. It should also eject easy manually racking the slide. If you have difficulty racking the slide with the loaded round in the chamber you may have the bullet seated too long No hang ups and when chambering from the magazine the round should go into the chamber without binding up or getting crooked. If you have the bullet seated too long you can have some issues. If the flare on the case is too great that can hang up when going into the chamber. Iron the flares out. I like to make 3 rounds and load them into the magazine and cycle them manually (Not Firing them) they should all go in and out without any issues. Buddy has a Kimber 45 ACP that the chamber had a dent in it and thicker case brass would not chamber all the way. Not the ammo at fault. [/QUOTE]
