I would just trip the slide with the release button. If it feeds the round ok that way I think you just need to shoot your pistol some (wait a minute, that was a stupid statement, I think you need to shoot your LCP a lot anyway, no excuses needednewshooter said:

I can't remember the length, I'll have to look it up tonight when I get home. I do remember if you use Speer's COL the round won't even fit in the mag. I loaded mine as long as I could and still have it feed through the mag. I use Unique powder and through my Chrony I'm getting 1024fps with no signs of excessive pressure, although it does tend to sting my hand a bitMEJETSKI2000 said:
I'm using Speer's data, but bewarned...Kraigster and I have been comparing specs and Speer's loadings appear to be quite a bit hotter than anyone else's. That said, I'm under the max listed in Speer's with no pressure signs WITH MY PISTOL, your pistol may be/is different than mine, always start at the bottom and work up. No kabooms allowed!MEJETSKI2000 said:
How much Unique are you using to get that 1024 FPS? 4 grains with a 95 Gr. bullet only gets me 865 FPS or so. Thanks.I can't remember the length, I'll have to look it up tonight when I get home.

I've decided that it's best for me not to post load data that I use, I don't want the responsibility of causing a kaboom in someone else's pistol. With that said, I am under max, and every chronograph will read differently. I'm using a Shooting Chrony Beta Master, 65 degree temp, 2500 feet elevation, a 90 grain bullet, using R-P brass. So you see there are a lot of variables involved, but I would say your load is comparable to what I get with 95 grain bullets. Give me a PM and I let you know the specifics.45longcolt said:
