So, I took my latest batches of 160gr and 147gr out to the range today. The 160gr shot great, but the 147gr had some real issues. I was shooting a SW9VE.
First, it wouldn't even chamber unless I slammed the locked back slide on it. It would not chamber the next round after firing, or if I sling-shotted the slide.
Second, when it didn't chamber, I couldn't extract - the action was basically locked together. I had to disassemble the gun, pull the barrel, and knock out the round with a cleaning rod.
I measured OAL on one of the rounds, and it was 1.163 - a touch long, but still within 9mm max OAL. Any ideas about what's going on here? I did a factory crimp using the Lee die. The bullets are .356 coated 147gr.
