Occasional failure to go in battery on slide lock reload

[Blaine]

I have a Shadow that digested 1500 rounds of Freedom 124 hollow point with no issues. Started shooting Federal Action Pistol 150s and occasional inconsistent failure to go into battery only on slide lock reload in IDPA. Never any issue feeding while firing.

Any ideas?

You may want to ask a mod to move this thread to the CZ forum. And you may look around there to see if this has happened to someone else

ETA: here is a reloading-related question: Did you plunk test your ammo? If it is a bit too long, it could cause what you are seeing.

Define "won't go into battery" 

 

Is the bullet feeding then just no closing  quite all the way? 

 

Or is the cartridge getting hung up before making it into the Chamber?

Do you use the slide stop or slingshot it? Sometimes a round only works with the slingshot. A bit more slide velocity when you slingshot.

Make sure it passes the "plunk and spin" test.

If the slide isn't going into battery the round is probably too long for your Shadow (as previously suggested plunk the rounds to confirm). If it's a failure to feed then it could be a multitude of things.
