Yes, I know November is over with, but it’s taken me a while to get this all edited up.
So, without further delay, here it is.
In summary, it was a wet and rainy day, with highs into the low 40′s. I met Jeffersonian at the range for a little trigger time. It’d been a couple of months since I’d been able to shoot anything and I was in need of some recoil therapy. It was decided on the spur of the moment to record the podcast there. I had my netbook with me and he had his pocket video camera, so with those tools set up and running, we proceeded to make some noise.
My EAA Witness .45 ACP ate the Blazer Brass 230 gn loads without complaint, likewise Jeffersonian’s 185 gn truncated cone loads. The semi-wadcutters and home cast LRN loads however failed to run, causing the slide to lock up just before getting into battery.
I’ve included photos of what we’re talking about on the audio/video so you can see for yourself.

I look forward to what caused the problem.
I don’t remember if I’ve fired that particular type of ball, but I’ve hand loaded lead cast bullets. My first attempts I learned that lead does not press into the case like FMJ. Neither does “plated.”
