Need some help with a problem I've been having. I have a Springfield milspec 1911, and my last two range trips with it have been cut short. Each time the first 30 rounds or so function flawlessly, after that I cannot get a round to chamber at all. I put the mag in, let the slide go, and the first round gets hung up. I've tried it with both the slide already forward and with it locked back. So after getting really frustrated I end up taking the gun home and cleaning it. But once it's been cleaned the same rounds from the same magazines will chamber no problem.
All I have magazine wise are the two Springfield mags it came with. The rounds 185 grain hollow-point reloads. At first I thought maybe I hadn't crimped the rounds enough, so I tightened up the factory crimp die and ran them all through again, same problem at the range. Not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong with it or if I should just call Springfield and possibly send the gun back to them. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
