oops. i dont know what else to call it.

my first steel challenge:

i forgot to sort the reloads between 'practice' and 'match'

so i had so many f t feeds that i dont even know what was the problem.

many of my mags haven't been cleaned in a year or more; i stopped shoot steel then.

so now i sorted the reloads, cleaned the mags, off to the local range to see if i can reproduce problem. hope not.

after range: the .45acp's are oversize; i used some moly coated bullets and they are fatter than my cases. i will have to break out the lubrizer on those.

the 9mm's; its likely worn magazine springs. at least that's where i will start: gunsprings.com

on the .45 the prob was bullet not seated deep enough: on my way to try out those pesky 230's reseated.

on the 9mm the springs were all worn: changed the recoil spring and ordered all new mag springs; due today.

Nice that it was an easy fix

you NEVER get those problems in  practice  sessions ....

I agree. Only at a match something like this would happen. At least it was an easy fix.

all new springs: G21 got new striker spring,

and a couple of new mag springs.

XD9-Tac got all new mag springs: whew that was work as most of my mags are old and Wolff has new type; they sent a second batch free, for Beretta 92's and they work fine.

only one of mine took the first batch sent.

 

much obliged, Max
