I don't post much here. Kinda new to casting. I had great success with the Makarov round, but my venture into Luger has been a disaster. I thought I had it worked out with the last batch, but then this happened.
The rounds are leaving a ring of PC/Lead residue that is contributing to the jamming.
Most of the rounds fire fine, but roughly 5% are jamming the slide and preventing it from going into Battery. I can't rack the slide by hand. I have to push the front of the slide on a table and push the back of the grip.
130 Grain MP Hollowpoint
PC coated
Sized 0.357"
Tested barrel slug 0.355"
4.1 gr Bullseye
Winchester Sm Pistol primer
1.010" COAL
I'm going to use more belling in the powder drop station, but I don't think that will solve the issue. Sizing smaller is likely to lead to other problems. I would like suggestions before I have my CZ 75 variant chamber throated.
I will try to post pictures.
