That is the ammo your gun was designed to run with. If you are starting with a clean, well-lubed, broken-in gun, and are getting stoppages after 200 rounds, you need to send it back to the master gunsmith who built it and tell him that it is not running.

Nice looking piece.

The weapon isn't quite broken in and is tight. I'm using Kleen Bore TW25B lube on her. I was reluctant to go with the grease and had always used clear oil, but it was recommended by several folks. It works great on the Grock 19 and I've never had a problem with that.

I haven't started using reloads in the SV yet, mostly because I haven't ordered the springs I'd need for my loads (and no, I've stopped making ++++++Ps, LOL), but I guess after a few hundred more rounds I'll see how she shoots and then take it back to Tommy. It's not cast so he might be able to widen the slide a few microns and get it moving better.

As it is, the thing puts a round anywhere you want it to. I've never shot a weapon more accurate. And I love the hi-cap ability without a long mag sticking out the bottom, and way the grip feels. It also came with the high beavertail grip safety that seats it just so.
