- brass damage on ejection
- brass damage on ejection 2
These photos go with the original post - yeah it's too crappy to be outside, so I'm piddlin around with my camera.
Two are factory WWB, one is a reload of mine, probably 3/4 power,moving out in the low 800s. When this happens the case in question ejects forward 6'-8' into the 1:00 position, instead of backwards into the 4-5:00 position with everybody else. So I'm pretty sure the slide is connecting with it like a bat on a ball instead of it being thrown clear. Not worried about the situation, just wondered if anyone else had these symptoms, and whether it is fixable.
Now is the time for all good men to get off their rusty dustys...
The thing looks like it's made of some sort of pot metal, the grain structure doesn't look like steel at all. If that's what they're gonna replace it with, I might as well make my own. I was rollin too! Dropped 250 beauts in short order. Went ahead and cleaned up 20lbs of wheelweights while I was at it.
A couple of platters of entrees for the XD. Worked these up with slight variations in COAL, watching for feeding problems and velocity variations. All but 5 of these worked great, much more accurate than WWB... Keeping notes and reading on the big forums.
