Extractor Sounds Likely
Sunday, May 28, 2023, 16:29

I have been shooting the .460 Rowland for years and primarily reload for it. If your cases are staying in your barrel and not extracting I would believe that the slide is coming back with more force than the extractor you have can handle and it loses its grip on the rim of the case. I haven't had this happen personally on a .460 Rowland 1911, but it did happen to a .45 ACP RIA I had. No kidding, my gunsmith bent it forward just a little bit and the problem disappeared. I'm wondering if what happened was that the first few rounds didn't stress the extractor too much but then it lost it's grip. Let us know how the extractor works out if you swap it out.
