Eh. Possible. Not necessarily. I’d guess it’s just another failure similar to these (all 320s).

It COULD have been hot, it’s possible. Little more damage on that one than most of them. But the same failure is way to common.

Neither. Google around for “Sig 320 unsupported chamber”. There’s info on this forum and others. There’s many failures just like yours.

Your data is actually spot on the norm, at 1.180" with a 180 RNFP 5.0-5.1gr N320 4.7-4.8gr TG Those are extremely common loads. If I were you, I'd set the N320 on 5.1 and fogetaboutit.

None of this is relevant without knowing COAL. Charges for a "standard" .40 round loaded at 1.120" and a "long" load at 1.180" will be very different. For long loaded (1.180") .40 loads with a 180gr bullet, N320 is usually around 5.0gr +/- to make about 945 fps (170pf). For 99.9% of 2011 Limited guns, there is no reason to load anything other than 1.180" OAL. Adjust N320 charge to achieve 950 fps and move on to something else. If you are shooting something other than a 2011, and loading to standard .40 lengths, then this information does not apply.

By themselves? No, they absolutely are not. They make make an Open gun subjectively comfortable for you, but they are not adequately protecting your hearing.

You should not be getting appreciable leading with a FMJ at minor PF. Cleaning the bore after 25-35 rounds is completely unnecessary unless something is WILDLY wrong with your bore. You should be able to go thousands and thousands of rounds without needing any substantial bore cleaning. If it continues to concern you, go to a JHP.

If you want the most accuracy out of your 9mm, go to a true JHP and never look back.

By a giant margin. Lengths (number of turns) are always identical, wire dia is always identical. Wolf and others are somewhat of a lottery.

Just buy Sprinco's and spend the time doing something more productive.

Never listen to anything those people tell you, ever again.

Have your doctor increase your SRI/Benzo dose.

If you want to shoot me a video of what is happening, I can help diagnose.

No problem. Forgot I even made that video, ha.

Eloquently put.

Idk. Honestly I’ve very rarely heard anyone on a super squad argue over a “double”. Have it overlaid? Sure. Continue to go on much about it after the call? Rarely, if ever.

This is exactly why the USPSA rules are written the way they are. That IDPA rule is nonsensical.

You mean RO's shouldn't just do whatever "feels" right at the time? Gasp.

I'll be frank. -If you are regularly shooting "true doubles" I can almost guarantee you some of them were actually misses. -If some of them aren't actually misses, you are spending WAY to much time trying to be precise. Even then it's pretty rare to shoot a "true" double that can't be discerned as two holes. -Do not, in any way, attempt to NOT shoot a "true" double. That's counter productive, and completely unnecessary. Go faster. -RO's score what's on the target. No what they might have seen while you were shooting.

That's not a "sharp" RO, and that's not how scoring works.

And that's all that needs to be said about that.

Thanks. I've tried to do what I can to make sure the competitive world stays informed. PD 124 JHP inventory was updated today. They are still available as of this post. There are several other popular projectiles available as well. Although they are not currently on the site, our 115 and 124 JHP "V2's" are available as well (pictured below). These are our newly designed sporting JHP's, designed specifically for Open guns and competitive use. If you'd like to purchase, just give our offices a call as 662-756-2810. One of our customer service reps will get you fixed up.

Just ran across this thread. There's been good information given, but I'll add to it. - The nominal length for PD 147 FMJ is ~.682". Normally speaking, inside of a single lot#, tolerances will not be more than +/- .001. However, lot to lot (and machine to machine), finished length can vary from .679" to .686". This is due to tolerance stacking across materials and other intermediate processes, and is usually a function of achieving an exact weight. This is the reason, for example, that you see lot # & machine # on products like Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT projectiles. There WILL be minor dimensional differences as materials, machine setup, and tooling changes. - That said, PD has processes in place to insure customers do not receive mixed lots within single orders. This is why I implore not only PD customers, but customers of other jacketed projectile companies to order larger quantities at one time if they are very particular about dimensional specifics other than weight and dia. (The caveat being that single lots can not be guaranteed on large ~50k+ type orders). - Forming tooling, responsible for the profile of the projectile, is made to extremely exacting standards, but ogives can still vary slightly due to a number of other factors. Obviously, significant changes in ogive that will affect loading practices are not accepted. PD is unlike some other projectile companies in that a large portion of the projectiles manufactured are used in-house. Some of our ammunition assembly operators have been loading ammunition for PD for over 35 years. They are extremely picky about the projectiles they use, and they keep the projectile dept. on their toes! - The issue Paltry Poultry experienced with the defective jackets was part of a small, isolated tooling issue that was detected within the process. Unfortunately it looks like a few thousand made it through. He contacted PD this week, and we're getting him fixed up. Anytime anyone experiences issues with a PD product, always reach out by email at info@precisiondelta.com, by phone at 662-756-2810, and/or I try to make myself as available as possible here and on other popular platforms. A customer service rep will always assist and get you taken care of with as little hassle to the customer as possible. We truly strive to provide exceptional customer service.

Way ahead of you….
