No. I am saying that using the Missouri Bullet Company "Parabellum" 9 mm RN lead cast bullets in reloads the Walther PPQ will not allow them far enough into the barrel in order to close the slide completely as the lands actually contact the shoulders of the bullets. This only happens with those bullets because they are much more round than tapered or pointed. They look a bit like mini-.45ACP ball bullets. However those same bullets/loads DO work entirely fine in the Lugers.

Dave,

Strangely, I have experienced just the opposite with Missouri's 124 Grain Cast Round Nose Bullets.

When loaded to proper O.A.L., 1.173 inches, they cause constant jams in my Lugers.

As you suggest, the overly rounded bullet tip may be the cause of the problem.


Respectfully,


Sieger
