Gun is a USP45c:
So after shooting my reloads which feel slightly lighter then WWB I tried some Gold Dots 230grn to check for feeding issues. They fed fine and were accurate as heck but I felt something in the gun that I dont understand.
What I can describe this as is standard recoil but toward the rear of the slide cycle it felt like a second recoil spring kicked in and soaked up the recoil very well. I could feel the GD's were stout but it wasnt a sharp crack but more of a springy roll that I felt. I hope I am making sense and I understand the HK has some sort of special recoil design but hope you guys can educate me on what that is or what I am feeling.
My thoughts were that the reloads werent cycling the recoil spring all the way to the rear and the GD's used full travel but am not sure. All my reloads were reliable and pretty accurate but I could tell shot placement and accuracy was better with the GD's likely due to being hotter. On my next batch of reloads I may step it up a bit by .3 grains which would make them 4.8grns Bullseye using 230grn FMJ and COL at 1.265.
