Pray tell,,,
For us non-reloaders,,,

What in the heck is a "plunk test"?

.

Remove the barrel, drop a round into the chamber. If it goes in to the right depth then your round should fire and cycle properly. If things aren't over-size it just "plunks" into the chamber. If it hangs up then there is a size or possibly bullet profile issue with that round in that chamber.

If it drops in too far check the caliber you may have tested a .380 in 9mm or similar...

I think if you read the two previous posts, we found the problem: Euro-spec vs. SAAMI.

Yep, and what did I say?

Move on, didn't change a thing did it? Well, maybe no one wants to use PPU.
Pitch it.

Ream out 32 caliber Semi Auto? Whew, not that is getting down into the fiddly areas. I would need a OCD shot to do that. But that is me, others may disagree.
