Recently, I purchased my first 1911 and while running some reloaded FMJ thru it just to get "a feel" for the handgun I had a type of jam occur which I have never experienced with any 9mm or .40.
Granted, this is a surplus Sistema which I'm sure could use some feed-ramp buffing, but after a live round failed to seat properly,I cleared the handgun and found the round that failed to feed properly a full 3-4mm shorter than it should be.
Obviously, the forward recoil forced the bullet to seat itself further in the casing than it should be.
Is this a type of malfunction that is not unusual for a .45 load, or is it a case of a BAD reload?
Thanks.
