correct bullets

rvolk169 · 07-22-2018, 07:18 PM

Which brand carries the correct bullets for my P08? The ones I am buying (in a variety of grain weights) seem to have a slightly tapered case so that as I load more and more bullets in the clip the angle becomes flatter so that by the time I have 4 shells in, the angle of the bullet in the clip is so flat that the front of the bullet is touching the magazine itself and won't push out. I have two clips -- they both exhibit the same problem.

And looking at the shells through the side slit it is clear that the first to be laded still have a steep angle -- each shell has a flatter angle than the previous one.

A friend's home-loads do not exhibit this problem - and it is evidently the fault of the brands I am purchasing.

Any advice highly appreciated.
