Have a friend who is having trouble w/ a new YHM 9mm barrel in an AR.
147gr HP from Freedom Munitions are headspacing the bullet on the leade and not the end of the case. It bad enough that a round dropped in the chamber visibly sticks out too far. If he drops the bolt the bullet gets stuck. Pulling the charge lever pulled one round apart and required a rod to tap out the bullet. Other ammo feeds and shoots fine. I have not seen the gun yet but he came to me w/ the issue since I have similar AR9s (but not w/ YHM barrels.) Freedom uses the X-treme plated HP in these rounds:

Anyone had trouble feeding the the Xtreme 147gr HPs? I have a bunch of other 147gr bullets but none of those to test. We're trying to figure out if the leade on the YHM barrel is short or the profile of the Xtreme HPs is too long. He says the HPs will drop into all his pistol chambers just fine. I have some 9mm barrels I chambered w/ a new Manson reamer that I want to test as I'm fairly sure that is SAAMI spec. Short of doing a chamber cast w/ cerrosafe Im not sure how to measure the leade of the YHM barrel. I could stick some split ball gauges down into it and do a rough comparison of the taper w/ other barrels? YHM says the headspacing is fine (which is likely is.)
