blue bullets

Just started loading blue bullets and I'm having jamming issues. I've loaded bayous and Missouri's in the past without issues. Loading to 1.125 oal and every so often the bullet fails to feed properly. I checked bullets in the barrell and they all drop in nicely . Changed out mag springs and recoil spring.  I also crimped a little tighter to see if they would feed better... no luck. Any ideas?

Do the drop test to see the max oal for your barrel. 

Start loading test samples of 20 increasing oal by .005 or .010. until you reach your max oal minus .01 or .015.

Sometimes a different bullet or profile likes a longer oal.

FWIW, in my barrel, I found 200gr Blues COAL is just a hair longer than 180gr Ibejis, and a bit shorter than 185gr Precisions. Widebody RIA, 200gr Blues go to 1.150", 180gr Ibeji RN to 1.145", and 185gr Precision to 1.160"

 

In my 10mm Glock (LWD barrel), I can load 200gr Blues to mag length (1.260")
