I loaded up 300 rds. 200gr Laser cast SWC for my 1911's. After about 100 rds the ammo won't feed. I took the gun home from the range and took the gun apart. There was lead build up in the chamber. I cleaned the gun [SA Mil-Spec] Boy what a job. The next time back at the range the same thing happens with my Dan Wesson PTE-Expert. There is leading in the chamber. So I took a close look at the ammo. The OAL is fine. But there is some loose lead on the sholder of the projectiles. That I hope is causing the problem. I wiped down all the bullets I have left out of the 300 I loaded. I hope this fixes the problem. If anyone else has had this happen would you please let me know how to avoid this in the future. P.S. When I loaded the 300 rds my dies were pretty dirty. I have loaded many thousands of rounds using 200 gr lead swc and not had any problems.
