I was out shooting this morning and the famously reliable glock 26 took one for the team ![Big Grin :D :D](/data/assets/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Here is some information about the handgun:
Stock factory everything Glock 26 manufactured in 2009, I have cleaned the barrel about 500 rounds ago on it.
Ammo was my reloads:
- mixed brass (this particular was a Federal)
- Winchester WSP primers,
- 4.0 grain of Winchester 231 powder
- bullets were Berry's Plated 9mm Round Nose 147 grain
- COL was 1.115"
Here are some pictures of it, the back of the bullet sits .817" deep from the throat of the barrel (pictured):
Here it is stuck inside:
Here is my reload COL:
Here is factory white box Winchester (left) compared to my reload (right)
Luckily the bullet got stuck close to the throat of the barrel so that the next round kept FTF'ing and I field strip the glock to see what was going on.
The federal casing that produced the stuck bullet was reloaded for the first time.Here is the spent casing of the bullet that got stuck:
It measures as follow:
length - .753",
width top .375"
width bottom .388"
All comments and suggestions are welcome, this was round number ~540 from a 600 9mm rounds that I've loaded so far with Berry's Plated 147 gr.
I also had a P226 and M&P 9C with me that shot great with no hiccups using the remainder of my reloaded ammo.
How can I test/measure the barrel to verify that it is safe to use after the stuck bullet is removed?
