[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 836443, member: 2415"] I wondered how many times it would take for an 'emergency release into battery' on my 1911 to change the overall length of a .45ACP round sliding up against the feedramp into the barrel. With a Winchester factory crimp, I just 'cycled' the gun 235 times (indexing the same round) before getting tired. Before 1 cycle: OAL 1.272" After 235 cycles, an irritated wife, and a tired hand: OAL 1.269" I think the negligible difference is due to the copper jacket wearing off on my feedramp. I got a gun dirty, and didn't even fire it. :( [/QUOTE]
