a2holes Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Do 180 round noise bullets feed more reliably than flat noise bullets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3WWN Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 In general, I would say, "yes"... but sometimes there isn't a noticable difference. I had 180gr TC bullets that would feed in all but 2 guns. Switching to 200gr RN solved the feeding issues (my bullet vendor didn't have 180gr RN), but the 170gr SWC bullets that I use now feed even better.Buy a sample pack (or 100) of the various bullets that you want to try, seat them in dummy rounds at various lengths, remove the recoil spring and guide rod from your pistol and hand cycle them. You'll feel which ones feed better than others. I've heard this referred to as "Enos tuning".If you have 1911s or 2011s, you may need to remove the disconnector, also, as the bump of the slide engaging the disconnector can feel like a hiccup in feeding. Not sure if this is true of other guns, though. Once you have the length, work your load up like normal to verify velocity, accuracy and check for pressure signs.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 The short answer is, RNFP is the standard in .40, and any gun chambered in .40 should feed them 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasterboy Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I've found that RN or TC plated work equally as well in my Edge once I tuned mags, polished feed ramp and loaded out to 1.18" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronemus Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 A flat-point bullet can jam/stick/drag in the magazine tube when loaded to maximum length if the round tips. Loaded to 0.020-30" less than max length there is no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZGeoege Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Flat point....funny how that sounds... ever see a flat point?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glockster1 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Full round nose profile bullets are simply the best. Way more reliable feeding/functioning and make clean round holes in cardboard targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like “round ball” in the muzzleloader world.... it’s a bit redundant haha OP, I haven’t had any trouble with RN, TC, or RNFP feeding in a .40 as long as the OAL is correct.
