Mine had no problem feeding any of the JHP rounds that I used - including some super light 86gr Aguila IQs. Sorry to hear that yours didn't like them.
What kind of jamming were you having? Were these failure to eject, or failure to feed? The problems come from different sources.
Failure to eject might mean insufficient recoil from the round, and might be solved by simply switching to another brand/load. Failure to feed is a bullet design/feed ramp problem, and may be trickier to solve quickly.
I'd try another box of a different brand of JHP. See if that fixes the jamming. If so, you now know one SD load that will work for you.
I haven't used the Powr Ball, but if you've given up on the hollow point design another bullet type you might consider is Federal's EFMJ "Expanding FMJ" ( http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/handgun.aspx?id=406 ). FMJ feeding, HP impact performance according to the site.
