I have always had problems with stock 45's ejecting my lower power loads, and the remedy was a lighter recoil spring. Cajun Gun Works has a post saying the way to tell is when you get about a
6ft ejection of brass. If your spring is too heavy, no ejection, if too
light, brass in the next zip code.
I spoke with Les Baer today, and he cautioned me to not go below
16# in his Premier II pistol, and to raise my powder load to accommodate by about 0.4 gr from my current 4.6gr. I will shoot
the pistol tomorrow, but I did not get a chance to ask him why not
below 16#.
Frame battering I can understand from a very weak spring, but
what else is the danger?
