| I recently bought some 9mm WinClean 147 gr. ammo because it was on sale. I fired about 20 rounds of it in my new springfield and then the slide would not fully close, even without a round in the gun. After pulling the slide back and releasing it several times it still would not return foward the last 1/4". After i got it home and took it apart i did see 2 small flakes of what apear to be pieces of the winclean jacket. The jacket material is much softer than any other bullets and is brass instead of copper i believe. I can only assume the pieces of jacket were keeping the gun from closing. Anybody had a similar problem with winclean ammo? I have previously fired about 200 rounds of WWB bulk ammo through this gun with no problems. The gun is cleaned every 100 rounds or so. |
