Fires every time too...no KB's or sizing "issues".
Nice groups at 25y offhand. Ragged holes from a rest. 15y drills on multiple, hanging 4x4 cards. Nails 'em big time.
Made in good ol' since 1911.

Well gentlemen thanks for the input so far it is a learning Experience as always. I am always open to anything you ALL say because I can learn from it ad then pass it on, "somebody has to make a mistake or have something go wrong, then they pass on the information, why, because we don't have enough time in our lives to make all the mistakes". You guys are great I should post more often.... Just got the gun (whats left of it) back from the smith my curiosity was peaked by the suggestions. Going through son's ammo box found that all the reloads were fired, by the way 16grains 800x 230gr nosler JHP Avg Velocity 1696fps. The round that failed
according to the gunsmith was due to "overpressure" causing a catistrophic failure of the case....YES it was a factory round (remington) as all the ammo we reload is in Winchester cases and are roll crimped the factory round was also a 230gr JHP. Best thing out of all of this I guess is the replacement gun. Model M1991 A1 Colt 45 ACP what a nice shooting pistol to me its a step up My other pistol is a Ruger Model 528SS in 357 Mag. As I said earlier thanks for all the input. Thanks about the tip on the camera forgot it had a macro setting...duh

800X @ 16gr under a 230 JHP.
That's a friggin' hot tamale man if it aint a compressed load.
Like they say on Mythbusters...."well there's yer problem!"
