| Maybe it's the ammo that's the problem. WWB.

| Have you thoroughly cleaned the chamber? I've been using WINCHESTER White Box 115gr, PMC 115gr, BLAZER BRASS 124gr and FIOCCHI 147gr in mine. No issues with some of which is considered by many to be "dirty" or inferior ammunition. But, I do thoroughly clean my guns after each range session.
If people would mind their own damn business this country would be better off. I owe no one an explanation or an apology for my personal opinion.

| Have you ran the WWB ammo in anything else?
After you started having issues, did you try any other ammo in the P365?
Does your extractor claw look normal? |
| |
Go ahead punk, make my day
| Was any of the previous ammuntion WWB?
Has the weapon been cleaned regularly or recently?
Check behind the extractor for carbon build up. |

| I just helped a friend of the Son, jammed up P320. They left it for me when I got home.
He has at least 500 rounds through the gun. I doubt he ever had the slide off, looking and a report from my Son. He had a Remmy steel case, fired shell stuck in the chamber, action locked shut.
The steel case shell had a surface almost like sandpaper, very rough. The gun was just about completely dry of lube.
I removed the stuck shell, disassembled the gun, cleaned, and lubed it up. It looks as shiny as new now. In his case I think it was a combo of, a dry, dirty gun, and very rough, dry cases.
I’ll give a gentle lesson on better care. |

I assume its cycled WWB before?

| Haven't seen that occur yet with mine, but so far it's been mostly Remington UMC, as I had some sitting around. The UMC is some dirty stuff, but nary an issue thus far.
I hear people decry winchester white box quite a bit, but I don't ever have problems with it. |

Didnt use to be that way. WWB was "the" range ammo. Ive been using CCI/Speer for about 6 years now, sprinkled in with some PMC Bronze when its cheap. No complaints.

I've been using it for a long time without complaint. I've always found it to be far more consistent than other ammunition, but then it's rare that I have any ammunition related issues. The only that I can recall off hand were some extraction failures with blazer aluminum. |

A day late, and a dollar short
| I too remember WWB being fine range food. I bought a few thousand ~10 years ago or so in 9mm and .40, saved the brass for reloading. Still reloading a lot of that same brass. Sitting in my ammo locker is 300 rounds 9mm, and 300 rounds .40 all WWB, just saving it for a dry spell in case I need it.

| I don't think one can count on cheaper plain box ammunition to be consistent from lot to lot, and year to year, any more. Falling ammunition prices work against this. Something has to give, and QC is one of those things. At least that is my experience. You can have great luck for a few years, and then have a poorly performing box or case. Has anyone else been getting the occasional crushed or crumpled brass case, or mis-seated bullet? I now visually inspect every one of my carry rounds, and check them for a smooth fit into the chamber of the dismounted barrel. Whatever the ammunition, it is a good idea to keep the chamber, ramp, and extractor claw very clean and smooth. Also keep track of magazine performance.

I concur, I changed to 124gr. American Eagle. ammunition in 2010 after numerous shooters had bad primers from the same batch of 115gr. WWB. |

| WWB, has not been reliable for some time now, just as Winchester hasn't been what they were, WWB has been a cheaper choice up here, but has lost its following for reliable ammo...
P226 Scorpion, P225 A-1, P 226 SAO Legion, P229 Legion, P 22O Hunter SAO, P938, P320 full, P 320X Carry, P365 P365 XL. P365 SAS
