My 995ts had a jam yesterday, when i tried to eject, the casing came out, but the bullet stayed lodged. I popped it out w a cleaning rod, and tried a test round, and it wont go in more tha. 80% without getting jammed.

Chamber appears clear, Cant see anything about obstructing it. Any suggestions?

If it were me I would not use aluminum cased ammo in my 995TS.

The test round used by Hi-Point for the 995TS is Blazer Brass 5200, 115 gr, FMJ.

I have run at least a thousand rounds of the Blazer Brass 5200 through mine between cleanings exclusively and have not ever had a failure of any type.

It really sounds line an overall length issue if you've cleaned the weapon and this is the first issue of its type after a long run of perfect functioning.

Try comparing the length of the ammo from that box with the lengths of other rounds. Either you got a defective round with an improperly seated bullet, or you got a type of ammo that is just to long for the Hi Point chamber to accommodate.

Aluminum, steel, brass...makes no difference. My HPs run them all.

I’m with Think1st, sounds like that ammo may be out of spec. The only other possibility is cleaning as Cicpup said, but you said you cleaned it.

Was the jam early in the session, or had you already run a box full?

Had a Ruger mini 14 that wouldn't chamber a round I clean and clean it and couldn't get it to chamber. Finally found a partial case stuck in it. I swear I could not see the damn thing and it was formed to the chamber. I finally got it out and it's been running ever since
