So I shot the first thirty 9mm reloads I made up today and six of them stovepiped.
All went bang, seemed reasonably accurate, etc.
Is it more likely that a.) the charge is too light (I'm using 6.5gr Accurate # 7 w/ 115gr Berry's RN), b.) I need to crimp (I did not, but I do have a crimp die) c.) some combination of these or d.) something else?
My initial thought was that either the charge was too light, causing the slide not to fully cycle, and/or the lack of crimp delayed extraction causing it to get stuck.
