Found a box of Winchester PDX bonded 124gr +P ammo that I got years ago and read on one of the gun blogs it jammed theirs, well....it caused a nasty enough of a jam I had to get Range owner to use a rod in the barrel to knock the round back to fix it. So in my case I am scratching off Winchester JHPs from my list.
Hollow points that have worked flawlessly so far: Fed HST, Gold Dot, Hornaday, Remington, Black Hills, and Fiocchi. Side note: I did get off three rounds before it happened. |
| I wish I thought to find that round the RO ejected out of the P10c so I could have looked at it so I could have a better idea what happened. I did blast 25 BlackHills 124gr +Ps, 30 Fiocchi JHPs, 20 Gold Dot G2s, and around 150-200 fmj after that. It was either a bad round or the P10 doesn't like it. I had probably another 10-15 of that Winchester, told the RO he could have it. |
| I would bet the bullet got jammed into the rifling. We noticed at my range that most 124gr or heavier bullets get jammed into the rifling because CZs seem to have a shorter throat than other brands. I haven't had a chance to check the P10Cs yet but the other CZs have been this way. We have a guy that lengthens the throat a bit and that fixes the problems without a loss in accuracy. It also allows the shooting of a bit higher pressure loads without getting into trouble. It's like the difference in shooting 556 out of a 223 chamber versus shooting it out of a 556 or 223 Wylde chamber. |

Mine shot 124 and 135 gr ammo without any issues - might be the bullet profile Winchester uses. I fired 124 grain lead and 135 gr Hornaday Critical Duty, no issues in the chamber. Lead bullets were loaded to 1.095 COAL. I did get on failure to feed with the lead reload, but it miked out too wide, my bad load.
CZ is notorious for short chamber, so we CZ guys usually load them a wee bit shorter, not much, but a wee bit. |
| I do want to say that not all Winchester JHP may be a problem, I would try the Win Ranger JHP if I got some. There is a guy on Youtube that shot Winchester Ranger T (RA9124TP) with no issues. I think part of the issue could of been the age of the ammo, it's probably 6-8 years old. Not to mention this is the first Gen of the P10C so expect varying reports neg and positive. I feel confident enough that I am as I type this carrying my P10c at the 2 o'clock position. |

That's disturbing to hear since we only issue Winchester Ranger. |
