Tired, the Remington 110 SP is the bullet I'm having trouble with. The lead tips are horribly inconsistent and smeared everywhere. The bullet also has the same profile as the ball rounds. That fat lead tip rides up the ramp and noses into the edge of the chamber. When that happens it displaces the lead and the end of the jacket hits the chamfer on the barrel. When I get a stoppage I can see the signs of it on the bullet. I'm playing with loading length to see if it goes away. It looks like a bullet seated to magazine length may cure the problem.
The Speer bullets are pointier and feed a bit better. When those are headed for the chamber the smaller lead tip hits inside of the chamfer and there is no trouble. The same goes for the Hornady 100 gr short jacket squishies.

As for carbine power, have a looksie here:

I couldn't make a habit of doing what he seems to have done but it apparently worked!
