I just spent several hours scouring the internet and I am getting answers all over the place. So coming back here for something more local. Since I do a lot of paper killing I thought it would be nice to punch cleaner holes with swc's. Though I have heard that they take some tinkering to load cycle reliably. So what is everyone's experience with SWC's in semi's. I am thinking of buying a bunch from Missouri Bullet Company for 9mm and .45. The handguns in question will be a Remington 1911 R1 Stainless, M&P9 Pro, and M&P Shield. In terms of .45 what I read is that 185 grainers require a lot more tinkering where as 200 grainers are pretty much gtg when loaded to the right OAL. I assume with the M&P's as long as I follow the right setting of bullets they should work without any fuss. I remember reading that is best to have just a small amount of the bullet poking out of the casing and not flush with it.
So that is what I know so far and what I intend to work with. Enlighten me with your real life experiences on these details and if they worked for you.
