SWC Reloads Feeding Properly Through a Semi-Auto Pistol??

I've got a box of SWC bullets to reload for my 40 S&W, and I'm checking to see if anyone has had problems with SWC reloads feeding through a semi-auto pistol?

I reloaded TC/FMJ bullets for my 45 and have experienced several FTFs with them.

Just make sure not to shoot lead through a Glock or any other polygonal rifled barrel thing. Ka Boom!

What gun? What OAL? I normally reduce OAL by .20 for SWC's from standard FMJ's. That works for me. Make some dummy rounds no [powder or primer] and try different OAL's. Find out what the gun feeds best.
