ohsevenflhx Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I have used this recipe, powder, primer, crimp, bullet weight, OAL for years and have had no problems at all. I have used this round in Glocks, CZ TS, Beretta PCC, Ruger PCC, Beretta 92 and Px4 with no issues. This fall I purchased a Walther Q5 SF 9mm. I also am trying a 124gr Plated bullet from a company I have never used before. The new bullet with the Q5 SF are having bullets tumble on targets only 10 feet away. Only about 1 in 30 or 40, but still key holing targets. I will work through this, but any suggestions wuld help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPD7119 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Are the bullets undersized? Or out of spec? We had a similiar issued with some 40sw bullets that were undersized. Have you tries the rounds in a different pistol yet to eliminate the gun as the cause? What are they doing beyond 10feet?

SteelCityShooter Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 You made two changes: 1) different gun and 2) different bullet. One or both of these may be the cause of the problem and you have to sort out which it is. As noted above, try the new reloads in a proven gun and try a proven load in the Walther.

Harpo Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Both previous posters are correct: -Check the diameter on the new bullets -Try different loads in that pistol -Try that load in a different pistol If none of those show anything wrong, pull a bullet to verify you aren't leaving a crimp ring.

4n2t0 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 More information on you load and the bullet manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont1120 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I will bet you are over crimping the new plated bullet. I do not know what you were using previously, but the crimp issue seems to usually be the culprit. Back off how tight the crimp is and see what the results are.

I was thinking the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsevenflhx Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 It must be the new bullet. I loaded and tested my other 2 brands and no tumblers. Tried the new company and tumblers again. Guess I'll just use them for practice rounds till they're gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the manufacturer should either replace them or refund you the money even if they are loaded already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsevenflhx Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 I have them all loaded. They shot good out of my PCC, they just tumble out of Walther PPQ SF. I just wont buy any more from that company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
