Anyone found bullets that don't feed in your guns? I shot this in my pistol today. This stuff would not feed in my pistol. Every 6-10 shots needed some kind of help.

Heard of it, not seen any of it yet, don't buy ammo at WalMart.
Is this the stuff with the small primers?

500 mag nut,

Over at Handloads.com forum there is a couple threads asking about reloading this small primed brass. But nobody has commented on it's actual use. Most guys are saying it's range brass and they just throw it away.

The indoor range I shoot at has Win ammo. But it doesn't have small primers, only large.

I currently don't have an auto to shoot my ACP stuff out of, so it wouldn't do me any good to buy any to try.

Thanks for the report.

Joe

Hi All. Maybe I've got magic guns ;) , but I dont have any trouble with either the Winclean or the CCI with the Aluminum cases. There are some off shore stuff I don't use. They cycles fine and is more accurate than I am, but they burn DIRTY.

Post Script: The only auto I've got that is picky about what it will eat is chambered in .40S&W.

.45 ACP has long had problems feeding ammo other than ball. Newer guns have tried hard to get as much ammo to feed as possible. Nonetheless, it comes down to a particular gun. I was told today about Fiocchi ammo and trouble with its feeding in a Para LDA. Best bet is to see what your gun likes and try to pawn off other ammo to unsuspecting 'friends'.
