I'm honestly puzzled by the feeding habits of my CT380.

It feeds S&B ball ammo and Remington Golden Sabers just fine. Never a hiccup.

My handloads, on the other hand, about 30% FTF although with some assistance they chamber and shoot fine. The handloads all pass the plunk and spin tests, so the OAL isn't too long. If anything they're a bit loose in the chamber.

So why do such a large percentage get caught up loading (never nose down, always nose up)?

I have seen threads and videos on polishing the extractor, removing a bit from the extractor claw, shortening the extractor spring plunger, and shortening the extractor spring.

What is going on exactly?

Otherwise a lovely little gun and accurate as all git out!
