and overall length in 10mm it seems. I have no experience with the Ruger and lots of my AMT and Custom 1911 experience has been fail to feed (cast reloads). I have been successful with a more rounded ojive profile. I finally mimicked some factory ammo that shot well. Used that bullet and used a factory round to set up my seating depth.

It finally worked for me. I'm still struggling with some other heavier bullets. The 170 gr. Lyman works fine and my 200 gr. does too. The Glock 20 will eat anything long short, blunt, rounded, cast, jacketed, whatever. It headspaces off the extractor fine. The 1911 has been a bit of a challenge for me personally. But as I said, the Ruger may be another cup of tea. It is more of a tuned machine rather than a mass produced tool.

Doug has a 1911 that literally ate each piece of 10mm brass it fired. I still don't know how it was doing it.
