I carried it with MagSafe Kevlar defeating rounds and after awhile they all got set back.
Actually I traced the problem to the 8 round Shooting Star mags that came with my Springfield Armory M1911. I found with those mags the top round would tip down and hit the frame on the way up the feed ramp. Anything but round nose bullet loads would set back a tiny amount on the first round out of the mag or set back a lot if loaded and unloaded a few times.I would discontinue carry of that ammo if that happened to me. And, I don't mean that box, I mean that brand...
Bullet setback in .45acp does not have to happen. If it does, to me, its a sign that the ammo was not made to the highest possible standard.
These set back rounds I would drop into the chamber and close the slide on.
My rule is that any round ejected without firing goes into
Correct. Unless the manufacturer states that their design is suitable for direct chamber loading, rounds should only be loaded from the magazine.Don't drop the round in the chamber and close the slide on it. Thats a bad thing to do to your extractor. Its not designed to flex and snap over rims. Its designed to have rounds feed up from the magazine and slip under the extractor hook.
My thoughts exactly and ... I've done it before .Get yourself a kinetic bullet puller. Give her a whack, measure, whack, measure repeat. If you overshoot put it in a seater die and press to length.
