I have an EAA Witness carry comp that I'm having issues with. I've run literally thousands of rounds thru it with my home cast 200gr SWC and 6gr of Unique. Up until recently it's never had a problem feeding, in fact I can't remember a jam. Now for some reason every round is coming just short of fully seating. A light assist with the thumb will put the slide back into play. I found some 230gr cast RN for cheap so I gave them a try and they do the same thing. The only thing that has changed in my reloading set up is that I somehow lost my old Lyman dies and replaced them with a set of Lee carbides. If I cycle the slide manually they have no problem going into battery. Only thing I can figure is somehow those rounds aren't compressing the recoil spring enough so that it has the return energy to seat the round. But I'm terribly ignorant when it comes to autos so I was wondering if anyone had any better ideas.
