Reeder Custom Guns - WB, one more Jericho question: Does Roman

ever run SWC's through it? 185 and 200 gr SWC's are all I load for .45 ACP.

anyone else within 400 miles, but I have only known of one semi auto that was intended to feed and shoot SWC ammo. That was a Colt National Match Gold Cup. It was set up to feed 185 grain SWCs. You might be able to get a good gunsmith to ramp and polish the Jericho and work on the mag follower. The Jericho was developed for the Israeli military and I am sure the Israeli Defense Force would never be shooting any SWCs. Take that for what it is worth.

guessing I'd like a CZ 75 or clone better in 9mm anyway. Thanks!

I generally get it to run in most of my 1911's by moving the deating depth around a little. The bullet shoulder flush, or maybe just out a little to bump the ramp. I have more trouble from big JHP myself. The Serria JHC for .45 Colts are great.

I shot the 200 gr. SWC from my modified Glock, with an added gas check at 1400 fps. Totally reliable too. I also shot SWCGC 240 gr. from my AMP .44! Just to see if I could. It did and ran fine and clean! I bet not many have done that. The Grizzly (mine anyway) was more sensitive to any bullet that was not shaped like 230 gr. ball or intended for the ACP, as far as the ojive curve. My FN HP loved 158 gr. SWC at 1000 fps, go figure!

Like Gary said other than RN ball, all bets are off on any semi-auto. You'd just have to see.

Colt, but that's the only semi auto I've tried them in. After I posted the question about the SWC's, I looked and realized I have 3 times as many small pistol primers now than large ones, so another 9mm would make sense at this time. Not sure I have any small primer .45 brass, if I do it would only be like 50...

Thanks Gary. I run 99.9% of my 45 acp's in a revolver. I'm

I like the 200 gr. SWC best myself.

Thanks! The 200 Gr swc's run fine in my late 60's
