kwesi Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm curious if anyone has determined that an OAL above or below a specific # is prone to the flat nosed round jamming on the feed ramp. I've had this 3 times recently. Two were my loads around 1.253 & the other was a Double Tap factory round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark3d Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I run 1.2. 180gn. No problems after about 3k rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwesi Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 dark3d: I've only got 500 down the pipe. Your took 3,000 to break-in? What OAL range now feed fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 3 out of 500? I don't know if I would call that a problem. Let it break in a little first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwesi Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ok. For some reason I thought 200-300 was considered break-in. How many rounds would you say are sufficient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 These are the K10 mags or the old ones? Hard to d say how many rounds it takes but my Limited had a few misfeeds during the first 1000 rounds. Now its flawless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwesi Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 EAA replaced the defective chrome mag with the new K10. Now both are K10's. Could have been the factory mag before it was replaced. Still interested in the range others are having without any feeding issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 1.19 180gr here and I've had 1 ftf that I can't explain, the other one happened after not cleaning the gun for about 1500 rounds. The feedramp was caked with crude. I shoot lead, so there was plenty of crude to be found. This is over the course of about 10k rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwesi Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) J-Ho: thanks! I do not shoot lead but I'm assuming the suggested OAL is way less for lead. I've only loaded 180 FMJ. My manuals range 1.250 - 1.260. I've noticed my factory rounds to be more like 1.245 - 1.250. I then loaded some between 1.240 - 1.245 with no obvious over pressure signs but I have not tested them in the Witness yet. I wasn't initially planning on going lower than 1.240.
