    I am leaning towards a flaring crimping issue. I think I will try backing off the flare a little and also the crimp. going to try and get some measurements and compare with factory ammo. I am loading the sierra to 1.075 which is what the manual calls for on the 124 JHP.
    Just bell slightly, jacketed bullets won't shave very easily if you "under bell" the case. On the crimp, just hold the loaded round up to light, you can see any flare that is left, it should look straight (or ever so slightly crimped down, which you can back off of once you get it to feed).

    Also, you should get some check weights for your scale to make sure you are actually getting 4.4gr of Titegroup. That is a max load according to Hodgdon, so the recoil should be a nice sharp pop.

    Also, the OAL in the load spec is the MINIMUM. No problem loading longer for feed reliability, right up to the point the gun starts failing to go into battery.

    Good luck, have fun.

      Also you can do a quick check of your extractor. Disassemble the slide pull the barrel out. Slide a round onto bolt face under the extractor. Now wave it around like a wand. Your extractor should hold the bullet in place. Just another thing to check on the list. Good luck.
