Ok, so I took my 45 to the range today with 200 rounds of reloads. Everything went smooth except for the one round that somehow missed the crimp die and took two attempts to feed right and the one round that went "poof" vs "bang" and had just enough energy to get the damn load stuck in the barrel :roll: Thankfully I had some cut dowels & a hammer with me to get it out (per jesters suggestion) Guess that one missed the powder drop or something.
But here's the wierd issue I had ..... there was one round that when I pulled the trigger didn't do anything at all. I waited about 30 seconds before I ejected it (just in case) and looked at the primer and it appeared to have been struck so I though maybe just a bad primer. But for the hell of it I loaded it back into the mag & tried agan ... nothing. So that's 2 stricker hits & no bang, just put it aside. After I was done I decided to try it one last time so I just dropped it into the breach and let the slide go forward .... pulled the trigger and, not expecting anything to happen so I didn't have that good a grip on the pistol, BANG!!!! I didn't drop the pistol but it sure supprised the hell outta me that's for sure.
So what would cause the round to take 3 hits before firing?? Could that have just been a bad primer after all and not light striker hits?? I mean I now have 1000 round thru the 45 and this is the only time this has happened. Actually this was the first time I've had any issues with it and technically the first two I mentioned were both my fault
Just wanted to get thought's on this one.
