Recently, I purchased a Glock 24 and a Glock 35 to shoot limited in USPSA. The G24 came with the original barrel and a KKM barrel, and I've used both in practice. Since I previously competed with a 2011, I had to work up a shorter load for the Glocks. I've wanted to do this for a while anyway because the agency I work for issues 40 S&W Glocks. I'm using 200gr round nosed flat point Blue Bullets with an OAL of 1.125. I went with 1.125 OAL because that was what some Speer Lawman training ammo that I'd been issued measured. Both guns have had a ton of failures to feed. Mostly the bullets nose dive into the ramp, but sometime the slide didn't even pick up a new round. Both guns were well used so I replaced the magazine springs and recoil springs, but bullets were still getting stuck on the feed ramps. Most of the mags I purchased with the guns were early generations so I bought all new mags, but the bullets are still getting stuck on the feed ramp. Now I'm going to try increasing the OAL to 1.135, but I'm wondering if the round nosed flat point profile of the bullets may be the problem? It seems that more manufacturers use a truncated cone profile for 40 S&W. Do truncated cone profile bullets feed more reliably than round nosed flat point bullets in 40 caliber Glocks? Has anyone else ever run into this issue and how did you solve it?
