Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Cha-Lee: Thanks. I measured my mags as best as I could (I did not have an inside micrometer) and it looks like the spacing at the front is around .400. When I push the rounds out of the mag they tip up a lot before they clear the lips. Do yours do that with correctly sized mags? Now for the hard part - what is the best way to narrow the lips? Pressure (ie, pliers) or impact (tapping with a plastic faced hammer)? David S - Thanks for the info. I did see the mags but I need to buy 10 rounders, not sure the 10's are the new style. Interestingly enough the Mec-Gar site doesn't even show 10mm Mags for Witness guns.
  2. I have a 10mm Hunter which I have fired in only 2 sessions, one with 140 gr truncate cone cast bullets and one with 165 gr round nose jacketed bullets. Both were loaded to 1.25" OAL. In both cases there were numerous failures to feed. The jacketed bullets were a little better. They were accurate and ejected perfectly, but about 1 in 6 rounds would jam as follows: 1 - The front of the case would catch on the top of the barrel. 2 - The cartridges somehow wound up above (and in front of) the breech face and of course would then wedge downward as they entered the barrel. I have never seen either of these types of jams in an auto. The jams seemed to occur randomly no matter how many rounds were left in the magazine. I have 3 magazine, all 10 rounders, 2 of which came with the gun and 1 was purchased separately at a later time. All are identical and jams occur with all of them. The rounds sit very slightly higher in the front of the magazines. Again all 3 mags work the same. The gun appears perfect, very well finished, great trigger, no signs of burrs on the inside. Note - the gun has the old style magazine catch even though EAA says it was made in 2006. I am trying to avoid sending it back as it is expensive to ship. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone experience any of these problems? Help!
  3. Just started shooting my 10mm Witness Hunter using 9 grs of Power Pistol and a 140 gr Laser Cast lead bullet. About 1/3 of the rounds are jamming in a strange manner - the edge of the case is catching on the front of the ejection port of the slide. Happens with all 3 of my magazines & the mags look fine so I don't think it's a mag problem. It's as if the rounds are bouncing way up when they hit the ramp instead of going into the chamber. This is not an overly powerful or underpowered load. Chambered rounds shoot & eject fine. Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas about what is causing this? Thanks!
