I cant grasp the thought process.

If you carry empty chamber and chamber a round just prior to fireing how do you know the round you just chambered didnt just setback

Here's the state mine's in (I need to clean it before loading anything on it):

Mines mostly Dillon/Blue with a little Red/Mec and some RCBS/Green and has more clutter

My confusion is setback occurs while chambering so unless you never chamber around your risk of setback would be the same chambered round or carrying chamber empty and then chambering a round prior to fireing, Either way you have to chamber a round at somepoint if you want to shoot the gun correct?...

Wasn't trying to be clever just stating the facts. Same here. The fact is that .45ACP has some setback issues, and thus why I don't carry one in the chamber. How does one fire the gun if you never chamber a round? :? My take away is once you chamber a 45 acp- just assume the gun is going to kaboom ...

Have you tried lead bullets sized 1-2 thou over?

Twasnt me I only shot Sams 50

But as long as we are here, The 50 uses a rebated rim so can I shoot 45acp out of the 50 barrel

Sam for letting me try the 50 I think, Do I or dont I? Melonite or SS, Model 1 or Model 3

Owned 3 XDs before switching to M&Ps only thing I didnt like as already mentioned the high bore axis,
IMHO it made recoil a little more and also made it feel top heavy in the hand YMMV
