Bingo. OP, I had two boxes of the 180 grain Blazer FMJ, and glad I made it through them...my JXP didn't function 100% with those either.Blazer............I bought a bunch of 9 that jammed 3 different guns in one range session. They aren't conistent in quality in their 9. I won't buy their 10.
Cicpup could be right.
By putting a few drops of oil on the top bullet, as the round hits the ramp it will leave a light coating on the ramp. Just another way to get a little oil into the interior of the chamber and on the ramp if one doesn't use a spray and you're out in the field. Done it for years on my HP's as the old models had a paint on the ramp that many times caught the cases and slowed down the round's insertion.Oil the bullets? The fuck you been smoking?
Sorry, but this ^^^^^ probably needs to be moved to the worst advice in HPFF history thread…….just sayin’Don't be afraid to use some gun grease/oil on the slide and some oil on the interior parts of the gun. Also, put a few drops of oil on the top magazine bullets to help give them some slickness to go up the ramp better and into chamber, while leaving a very light oil on the ramp for the following ammo.
That's about the dumbest and shittiest advice I've ever heard. Just because it hasn't blown up in your face yet, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Oil in your chamber can cause excess pressure resulting in a KB.By putting a few drops of oil on the top bullet, as the round hits the ramp it will leave a light coating on the ramp.

Yeah... oiling bullets... nope.That's about the dumbest and shittiest advice I've ever heard. Just because it hasn't blown up in your face yet, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Oil in your chamber can cause excess pressure resulting in a KB.
Do you lube the barrel to make the bullets go faster too?
Still no. Dieselling is a thing.Hey assholes. This isn't dropping the bullets in a vat of oil and putting them into the magazine and then firing. When you clean and oil your gun, don't you clean and swab out your chamber and barrel with some oil to keep from rusting and for lubing?
Putting a couple DROPS of oil onto the first "round", "bullet", "case" whatever you want to call the first top shell of the magazine when out in the field (shooting target/plinking) and you notice a slide not wanting to go into battery. What few drops of oil you apply will roll down to the next round and some to the next and only lubes a few rounds to help get some oil onto the ramp and yes maybe a light film will reach the chamber, but not enough to KB a gun. It may not be just the slide having trouble, but dryness of the gun oil having burnt off and the gun oil you have won't reach in deep enough into the gun's interior to oil things up again.
Is that the same as "pigging"?Still no. Dieselling is a thing.
The barrel lube comment was a reference to some folks on the internet that lube their barrels up and insist that the bullets come out faster.Yeah... oiling bullets... nope.
Now I will say when I clean my guns, I usually use Hopes to clean the barrel, but most times I just don't run enough through to get it "dirty". So I use CLP, technically oiling the barrel. Always follow up with a few dry patches though...
Also, I do run an oil patch down the barrel if I am storing it for a bit. I will run a dry patch down right after to absorb any excess, but yeah I do oil it.
Feed ramp, yeah in my early years I did it, not anymore though.
Now if we are talking outside the barrel, especially to break-in a new barrel for a Glock, there are a few spots I do like to oil. The hood and the barrel tip where it engages the slide and usually the area where it engages the locking block. This helps with unnecessary wear, it will wear anyway with time... but it is just something I do.
Wait... that's really out there??The barrel lube comment was a reference to some folks on the internet that lube their barrels up and insist that the bullets come out faster.
Kind of like the guys who oil their bullets so they chamber better...
There are even knuckleheads that say the oil/lube atomizes and then ignites, like an internal combustion engine, increasing pressure and thereby increasing the velocityWait... that's really out there??
OK... sorry went over my head...
Which it does, in an air gun….until it breaks the air gun.There are even knuckleheads that say the oil/lube atomizes and then ignites, like an internal combustion engine, increasing pressure and thereby increasing the velocity
No just no. I'm not being an asshole just stop doing thatBy putting a few drops of oil on the top bullet, as the round hits the ramp it will leave a light coating on the ramp.

But you can't diesel the air gun by oiling the tip of the pellet. Over-oiling the barrel just causes compression and pressure issues. If you want to diesel the air gun you oil the base of the pellet. ...and then the air gun breaks.Which it does, in an air gun….until it breaks the air gun.
Not so much in a firearm. No idea how people think stuff burning in front of the bullet that seals the bore will help velocity….but they are out there.
I JUST BOUGHT A NEW JXP 10 MM AND AM ALSO HAVING TROUBLE WITH IT FEEDING, AND NOT CHAMBERING. I CALLED H.P. AND THE LADY TOLD ME THEY ARE HAVING "ISSUES" WITH SOME OF THE MAGAZINES, SO SHE SENT ME A NEW MAGAZINE. TRIED IT OUT AND IT FED ONLY MAGINALLY BETTER, BUT I WAS USING THE SAME BOX OF AMMO I INITIALLY TRIED IT WITH. HAVE TO BUY A BOX OF ANOTHER BRAND, ANY SUGGESTIONS ON BRANDS THAT HAVE FED WELL FOR YOUR JXP? I ALSO TRIED THE SAME AMMO IN THE MAGAZINE OUT OF MY .40 S&W, AND IT STILL WOULDN'T CHAMBER, WITH THAT. (APPARENTLY THE MAGAZINES ARE THE SAME FOR BOTH CALIBERS, THE ORIGINAL JXP MAG THAT CAME WITH THE GUN RUNS FINE IN MY .40 S&W) SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, I HAVE MACULAR DEGENERATION--But you can't diesel the air gun by oiling the tip of the pellet.

Peace favor your sword,
