AWLAZS Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Hey which is better for feeding issues JHP or round nose. I have been using a lead T/C and am now switching over to jacketed. I have been having feeding problems with my big stick and jhp's is it just me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Could be you if you didn't shorten the OAL for the JHPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Could be you if you didn't shorten the OAL for the JHPs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I adjusted for the new bullet but the aol is the same for the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerjg Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 i use JHP just for the fact that it has a closed base. Ive never had a feeding problem w/ them. Of course mine feeds sized brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 JHP's are fine if they feed ;-) As Erik said, the OAL may need to be a little shorter. If JHP's won't feed, then RN are a better choice (if RN don't feed at normal lengths, fix the gun!). It all depends on what works in the gun. JHP's should, but that's not a real life certainty in all guns. -- Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Then you probably want to shorten your OAL by .01-.02". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Meek Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Like has bee stated previously either should work but if you use round nose then try to get an enclosed base Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1b Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I am a HUGE advocate of the JHP - specifically in 9mm/38 super calibers. They are generally more accurate, and I've never had feeding issues. Plus as mentioned they are generally wrapped all the way around. If they work - which they should - I'd go JHP (in case you couldn't have guessed that from the first two sentences ) JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I use Zero JHP 124's and have had no feeding problems. The jacketed base keeps the blowholes much cleaner also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
