I am new to reloading and have had good luck with 230 gr round nose 45acp. Just picked up a box of West Coast Bullets 200 gr swc plated bullets and needs some advice: I am using 5gr of Win 231 and an overall lenght of 1.2. Unfortunatelly, more than half of all my rounds jam. Tried two guns, 1911 and Sig 220 with same result. Any advice on the COL and crimp? Anybody been happy with a load?
Any advice to a new guy? Thanks in advance!
