Just returned from the range. Tried the new 124 grain load in four different pistols. They functioned perfectly in the LPL08 with a mecgar mag and my GT Drum, the Mauser C96 Red Nine, and a Ruger EC9s. They would not feed into my Walther P38. I fired 18 rounds through the C96 leaving two rounds in the magazine each time and then loading those same two rounds first into the magazine. These two rounds were subjected to the recoil of 18 rounds. I then measured the OAL of both rounds. There was no change in length. 18 rounds is not a definitive test, but it is encouraging. I think I'll load another test batch and let them age a few weeks and see if the brass relaxes it's grip any.
