My only concern would be the possibility of barrel blockage?Absolutely.
Not a problem. In case you missed my response to Omelette, the only
resistance comes when the lead bullet gets jammed into the rifling. From
there on the bullet flies down the barrel at increasing speed. It weighs
less than the breech block so it provides the path of least resistance.
The bullet moves easier and faster as it travels down the barrel while the
breech block is heavier and the spring action backs movement harder. If
in doubt, you can always test it on a safe and observable target. Muzzle
velocity and bullet energy are not impacted by auto loading systems. I am
100% confident the bullet will make it down the barrel.
Fine, then you can feel confidant with the autoloader of your choice.
There is little problem in that regard with CCI rounds (what I use).
They do have a bit of powder in them; I can attest to that personally.
But some other brands do not and there are expert reports & warnings of
them getting stuck in the bore. I am by no means an expert but I think
it would be foolish to ignore such reports. In addition, autoloaders
may not have enough energy to cycle the action. Direct from CCI:
"Both our Short and Long CB rounds are loaded to the same velocity.
Depending on the gun, one may feed better the other better in repeating
firearms. That's why we make two types. They will not cycle most
semi-auto guns."
