Suddenly Jammomatic G17 and G19 from Federal Champion Aluminum case 115gr???
Had several failure to feed, double feed (?) on two different Glocks. First I thought it was the PMag21's but I also tried in standard G17 and G19 magazines with the same results.
HST 124g +P and normal HST 124gr ran like a top
I have run over 500 rounds of Federal Champion Alu case this through this same G17 without issues until now.
Have also run 2,000 rounds of Blazer aluminum. 1,000 rounds of Federal American Eagle Syntech. Magtech, Sellier and Bellot and reloads. Zero issues until now.
Tried the Fed Champ alu 115gr in a G19 with the same results. Failure to feed where the jammed round is nose into the chamber with tail up and the second round underneath it is partially forward. This happens with the PMags AND the G17, G19 OE mags.
Thoughts?

OK - more info
I tried to hand cycle through a magazine of HST 124gr +P
worked fine. Had one slight hang up but an extra firm rack had the round eject right out
Now- tried to hand cycle the Federal Champion Aluminum 115gr and NO GO.
I'm no weakling and I could NOT get any of the rounds to eject by racking the slide.
The slide will go back exposing about half of the round and STOP.
I measured the
HST and got .3850, .3805, .3755 w .3905 rim, .3410 channel
Fed Champ .3880, .3850, .3765 w .3880 rim, .3420 channel
It’s definitely the dimensions of these rounds from a case of 1,000. Previous rounds worked fine.
I’ve experienced these same stoppage issues with:
3 different mags
Pmag21 (4)
G17 mag (3)
G19 mag (2)
3 different Glocks that have proved 100% reliable with thousands of other rounds
G19 kkm match bbl
G17 gen3 bbl
G17 mos gen4 bbl
These mags and bbls feed and extract via slide racking without issues:
Cci Black 115
Federal HST 124
Federal Eagle Syntech 115
Magtech 115
Only these boxes of federal champ aluminum have stoppage when firing and hand cycling the slides
