(It happened to Dave) So I shoot JHP double deep with some "extra" powder. They never jam and they always go down range.
i'm not using leadheads, but copper plated ..
I didn't have a feed or extract issue, it was the hammer that would not fall.
and the thumb safety that would not engage, despite the fact that the gun was in battery..
It has never done that till now, right after that really weak load..
Never seen that much powder residue so far in the gun.. well past the chamber
And low loads simply don't seal the brass to the chamber, so i'm pretty sure that's the cause.
