Limp Wristing. It might not be your fault...

now it makes me wonder. i bought some Magtech 240gr ammo, and it didn't cycle worth a damn (6" 44IMB .004" clearance), so i sold that off at a loss, and i also bought a box of HPR 240gr ammo, and that wouldn't cycle. so now i'm thinking maybe switching to a barrel that's got tighter tolerance (.002") to see if it makes a difference.
----------------
ETA: switching to the barrel with tighter clearance (.002"), the HPR 240gr TMJ ammo still didn't cycle. also tried some Blazer 240gr JHP, and that didn't cycle either. so, in conclusion, it's the ammo being underpowered, and not the Desert Eagle. oh well.
