I came across a post recently casually stating that if you have cycling issues, a heavier bullet may be needed.
He wasn't stating that this is the only answer, only AN answer. My HK P30 fires UMC and WWB ammo fine. But, I've been trying to work up a good range load for it instead.
These loads were used with OAL of 1.120" for 9mm Luger
Power Pistol at 6.0 and 6.2gr; 115gr Win FMJ Flat Base
AA#2 (not improved) at 4.9gr using same bullet.
The slide barely fully cycles for my wife. It cycles OK for me, but we both get malfunctions. The reason why I wanted to know if a heavier bullet may be in order is I'm approaching the upper end of the scale for powder charges.
I don't want to switch powder yet until I run out. I do have a notion that the powders may be the issue since they burn so fast...at least the AA #2 does.
Would moving to a 124gr be adviseable?
