[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3044999, member: 5412"] I shoot 200 grain Semi Wad cutters in my 1911, as well as 185 grain, and 230 grain round nose and HP for Self Defense. Pretty much cover the spectrum. I had issues with the 200 grain lead semi-wad cutters ejecting and loading because I didn't have them seated long enough. The rule of thumb on semi wadcutters for 1911 anyway is about a .020-.030 exposure of the sharp shoulder above the case. The same holds true with a round nose. It has to be seated long enough to gain reliability. The sharp shoulder of a round nose is not so evident in the bullet like your shooting. Try seating it out a little longer in different tests and see if that helps. I don't know what brand of dies you're using, but the bullet seater dies have an option of a round nose or a flat nose in some models. Make sure your seater dies have the correct insert for the bullet your using. [/QUOTE]
