So I am a self professed newb to reloading but have banged out a few thousand .40, 9mm and .223 rounds without any issues.
Reloading for a HK USP .45 using HSM 230g HP bullets and I ran into an issue with the C.O.L. Max is supposed to be 1.275 and I loaded a bit below that but the bullet was hitting the rifling of the barrel and jamming. I had to go all the way to 1.215 before jamming issues went away. That seems excessively short to me. Looks like the ogive is very close to the tip of the bullet vs being back a bit farther and having more taper.
Anyone else have issues with this? (and yes I know HSM aren't very good quality bullets but I figured they would be fine for plinking)
