Not sure where to ask this question, but here goes:
I'm at the range tonight trying some new loads with my Glock 27. This is the first time I have loaded for it. I am using 4.8gr of #5. The bullet is a truncated cone with a bevel base. The first three fire perfectly. I am checking the brass after every fire and I notice the slide has not completely closed on the fourth round. I take that round out and notice there is a diagonal "groove"cut where the bullet meets the brass that makes me think it is being seated into the rifling.
I single load another round into the chamber and let the slide go. It again does not shut all the way and this time the slide won't budge. The slide can't be shut or opened. I am thinking now that the bullet is seated into the rifling and has jammed the slide. These are cast bullets that I did not cast and seem on the hard side. They came in a deal and were "store bought". I did not want to force anything so it sits as is until the local gunsmith gets in tomorrow. Anyone ever have something like this happen?
**Update** Read some on this issue. My dies may not be sizing the brass correctly and the round got stuck in the chamber when the slide chambered the round with force. That would make perfect sense, wouldn't it. I am going to leave this post to see if anyone else has ever had this problem and what they did to correct it.
