Been loading the Lee 9mm 120 gr. boolit for several years with an OAL of 1.10. I got this OAL from looking at a similar shape and weight boolit in the Lyman manual. Works fine in all the 9mm handguns I've tried it in. 3.3 gr. of Clays, 1050 fps.
Today I got two new STI Spartans in 9mm, supplied with two each Mec Gar magazines. One ran fine through a couple of mags. The other one had trouble from the git-go. The rounds are catching on the bottom of the barrel. Either the angle of thew round is too shallow as it feeds, or the round is too long and hitting the barrel before the mag lips start to elevate it.
Anyone shoot this boolit in a non-ramped 1911? Any advice?
