It varies from gun to gun too. The two S2s I actually run eat 1.120ish length 125gr blue bullets just fine. However, and Accu S2 I impulse bought a month back strait chokes on them. The leade (or whatever) on the rifling is visibly shorter on that one. I shortened to 1.08ish and it's fine now in all 3. I recall from a reddit comment that that may depend on how fresh the tooling is on the reamer they just happened to use, but who knows if that's actually true.

I can have some old ACME dummies that are much pointier that don'e have this issue in this gun. Blue bullets are much rounder so that's the case for me.

The thread seems to have just went off in the short chamber direction without anything indicating that to be the actual case here. I used to get horrible fail to extracts on my 2 main S2s until I went to 13lb recoil springs from 11lb for example. I also need to clean the extractors every 3-4k or so. Those are only 2 additional possible causes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanfoglio1911 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I recently just bought a S2 and tried my MPX PCC load to this gun yesterday. 147gr of plated Everglades bullets and 124gr of RMR MPR and both load works without an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest all try to find the article Bullet Design And Feeding Reliability In Semi-Automatic Pistols by Brad Miller, Ph.D. on the internet. Original article as published 7-16-2010. The site where this was posted is now defunct. The link I have is http://38super.net/Pages/Bullet Design and Feeding Reliability.html. A newer version of the article was print in 2013 by Guns and Ammo under the title Miller, B. Keep that gun running; An in-depth look at bullet nose design and feeding reliability in semiauto pistols in Guns and Ammo 2013 Annual pages 171-176. I don't recall significant changes compared to the original. I located a copy and purchased a few years ago. The soft copy I have is the 2017. There are notes added to the start pertaining to the Guns and Ammo article and one at the end from the person who published the article and carries page dates ot 2017 but is a repost the 2010 with the additions noted. This article also provide answer(s) to "why" for the comment "CZs have short chambers (or throats)...." Here's a link to the article from 2010. Lots of good info there: https://web.archive.org/web/20101025075157/http://38super.net/Pages/Bullet Design and Feeding Reliability.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullet Design And Feeding Reliability In Semi- Automatic Pistols I think I may have posted a link for this somewhere on Enos before. You may find it here quicker.
