[ARCHIVED THREAD] - 9MM AR + hollow points = trouble?

Posted: 8/5/2005 7:34:52 PM EDT

I put maybe 100 rounds thru the new 6450 with no probs. I finished off the last 30 rounds of the Winchester non-hollows and knowing that I would be shooting the next day, I did not clean the rifle. The new 115gr Winchester hollows would only load with the charging handle but would jam after EVERY shot. The rounds are new and look great. Is a common problem? Seems that a LEO carbine would be more tolerant...

If I ever buy any HP 9mm, I'll give it a test in my Oly.

HP will not feed in my 6450 9mm Colt. If you are looking to use a 9mm for defense purposes, might I sugest Cor-Bon Pow'RBall? that does feed from mine ok, and the Colt rifles are rater for +P as I recall.

This should take care of any worries about feeding issues.

Me either, and I have put many thousand rounds of 147 grain Winchester Western, Federal Hydro Shok, and Speer Gold Dot, through a Colt SMG. The only gun I ever had a problem with was a Colt SMG that was a lemon out of the box and that went back to the factory as defective. The other two I had ran perfectly with whatever I put in them.

I know I've used Ranger Talons, Triton, and Cor-bon with no stopages. To be honest I haven't used too many varieties in it, but I figured if the Cor-bon would cycle then just about anything would.
