I did a bunch of Chrony work this past week and shot the SR1911 for the first time since indoors this past winter. I had simply checked the primers and tossed all the brass in a bucket to deal with later. The Chrony tests were all done with new Starline brass and various loads. Almost all 230gr lead round nose of some form. But every case is gouged and most dinged. The little dings on the side are minor. It's the gouging. The extractor has a polished area on the front edge.
See if my pictures will post right. If not, I will work on it. The pics, not the gun.
Nice gouges. None gouged though the case. The powder residue makes it look that way. I moved some light around to try to show it up the best.
Just little dings. No big deal for those on the side. So I have read.
Does the extractor look like there is too much gap?
The extractor holds the cartridge but that upper portion doing the gouging appears to have a little gap. Is it just too tight? If so, how do I solve that? I am not a gunsmith. Don't pretend to be. But if it is something I can learn to do, I will look at learning. Thanks!
