[QUOTE="Bill Johnson, post: 1067885, member: 84129"] Pistol loading is different than rifle. With pistols, reliability is the #1 goal. When setting up for an autoloader, I ALWAYS make up one magazine full of dummy rounds set at max length, then cycle through the gun a couple times. Sometimes that length works, sometimes not. Then, if max length doesn't work, increase seating depth .010 and retry. Once I get it to cycle 2 magazines with no problems, I'll start loading live rounds to test at the range. Changing your powder charge won't help unless it's short-stroking. That will lead to more jams then what you're seeing, IMO. [/QUOTE]
