Ok, so I own a Kimber custom. I have had it for maybe 5 or 6 years. I have put about 1000 rounds through it give or take. I have been using Mec-gar mags for it. 7 and 8 rounders.
Here is the deal, every so often seemingly at random interval I get a failure to feed. Almost every single time the round gets lodged on the feed ramp at the bottom edge of the bullet. I am not sure if it is really on the bullet or on the case mouth. I know some of you are ready to say "crappy mags", well not so fast. Here is where it gets a bit dicey. I have tried using Mec-Gar's Wilson's, and Chip McCormick's, all had exhibited the same simptoms. It does not seem to be ammunition related either. I fire my reloads through it, someone elses reloads and a couple of different factory ammo types and had the same problems. I even tried different combinations of ammo, mags, and shooters, and still had the same issues.
Does anyone have any insight as to what the problem might be?
Also, while I am here. Is it just me or does everyone else's Kimber do this? Mine ejects brass everywhere. Forward, backward, 30 feet sideways. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the randomness. Maybe I am over anylizing..
Thanks
Flame.
