Anyone using Fed. 185 SWC match ammo? I am having a hard time with it . Guns that feed and cycle JHP's and ball are not working with that stuff.

AP, 185 Match can give you a couple of problems. First, it has a lower recoil impulse due to it's slower velocity. You might try going to a lighter recoil spring. Also, it's considerably shorter in OAL than ball, and if the gun isn't tuned right you may have problems as the round can be free of the mags feed lips before it's controlled by the extractor. Try a lighter spring first, and if that doesn't solve your problems, then some tuning may be in order. Best,
