I just loaded my first batch of 9mm rounds with lead bullets. The ammo won't feed properly into the chamber of my XD subcompact. It acts like it is too long but the COL is 1.125". Factory 115 gn FMJ feeds well through the XD but the bullet shape is different.
Here is the spec on the bullets.
.356 Diameter
9mm Parabellum
125 Grain 9MM RN
Brinell 18
Missouri Bullet Company
The wax line is right a the edge of the casing. I am using 4.9 gn American Select powder.
I have been loading .357 ammo with good success.
Do I just need to seat the bullet a little deeper? What is the max depth if so that I can go? What does this do for the chamber pressure? Or is this 125 gn bullet just not going to properly feed into an XDsc?
I would assume that lead doesn't feed as well as a FMJ but this is surprising to me that the slide won't fully close.
