Hi team,
I have been up against some strange symptoms while reloading and shooting my 45 ACP.
The projectile shapes aren't important as the two that I'm using both feed perfectly fine. Both 200 grain and both loaded with 4.5 grains of AS50N/AP50N to make major power factor in IPSC.
One of them however has started stovepiping on extraction after the round is fired. They WERE fine and the only thing I've added is a slight crimp. I'm also noticing loads of unburnt powder in the chamber and barrel but only with this one problem projectile.
If i had to guess there isn't enough pressure being generated but given they both the same weight, powder charge and crimp i am perplexed by why this is happening or what can be done. Any ideas?
