V-Bob ammo question

[Riverpigusmc]

There's a reason they call Gold Dot "flying ashtrays". The extreme size of the cavity can be problematic in some autos due to the nose profile

Are you familiar with the three types of feed lips on 1911 mags?

I always use round nose bullets.

No Sir I am a little green about the feed lips. I do know the OAL of the gold dot is short and maybe the pitch of the round coming off the follower seems to be an issue. I was using a Wilson and McCormick power mag and not the factory check mates. The GD ammo also feels far less potent than white box. Are there different pitch feed lips? Learn Me Up

Well I spoke with Glen at DW and he said that he would send a shipping label and said when he returned it it would feed anything. 3 weeks though was to long at this point so he told me to polish feed ramp with 2000# or finer with fp10. S o I got after it with 2000-3000# and it now sends those gold dots home with no effort. I still will carry something other that those.
thanks for all the feedback.

That's great. Should'a been polished already though IMO.

well my thought also, but also how much can they polish the duty treat finish. even tough it did feel slick it was nothing like the finish it has now.
