Hi,
this is a cool 9mm boolit, but I have frequent FTFs in my SIG, a gun not known for it's feeding problems.
Has anybody had this problem, and if so have you found solutions? I have loaded to the crimp groove and deeper (a sliver of the top band showing), and am anxious to find a fix.

I have just started to play with this bullet in my 9mm 1911. I'm loading them at 1.025", and they are functioning perfectly through the gun.
Not accurate, though, and I'm getting some leading. I'll be watching this thread with interest. They make such a pretty round hole!

You have to find the OAL that feeds. My CZ would fail to feed with the boolit seated in the crimp groove. They shot fine out of the Blackhawk but that was not what I needed. Mine took a longer oal than the crimp groove to feed consistently. Experimentation and making sure that they are not beat up on the feed ramp.

Alright, I'll try your suggestions. Thanks
