I had some feeding problems with Winchester white box 230 gr ball ammo, but ran a few boxes through it until I got a good set of wear and copper marks on the ramp. <br /><br />Them I took some metal polish and cotton T-shirt material, and used my finger to polish where the wear marks were, careful not to cut deeper than the machining marks. The end result was a slicker ramp for ball ammo without changing the ramp profile.<br /><br />Whether what I did helped, or whether just shooting it to break it in was what really fixed the feeding issue is always up for debate, but the pistol has performed beautifully since.SordidPandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657526230826604643noreply@blogger.com
