I did state earlier that it did jam with factory rounds also, but not near as bad.

OK, I missed that. My bad.
It's kinda weird how so many 1911s now seem to have tight chambers. Some could have to do with the bullets; the ones I have used have a bit more shoulder than some others, but even Hornady XTPs (no shoulder at all) aren't immune to this.
The thing I was going for with mine was to get the OAL down to where the case head was even with the barrel hood. The 1.25" OAL rounds just stuck up way too much and would cause the symptoms you spoke about. Jammed it up but good in the RIA- even needed to force the slide open by pushing it against a table. The R1 I didn't even try with those rounds; the way they looked when plunked into the chamber just didn't look like it would be successful at all.
