What does your like, mine will feed Gold Dot 230 reliably, ball reliably, but Corbon DPX stovepipes nose up and the same with Ranger T. Rich at Kahr had no real explanation and said keep shooting, something strange about the polymer adjusting to something, I think maybe the coriolis effect played in there somewhere. I'm at probably 500 round count, about 200 bucks worth.
My CW45, I should add, feeds anything nicely, no issues.
I do find it makes me scratch my head to spend 400 bucks to break in 500 dollar gun, you know what I mean...
Both mine - newer slide, older slide, feed just about anything well, as long as its not super short in length. I got some 180g FMJ's to try from a local small time reloader, and they would not work at all - yet fed flawlessly, few hundred of 'em, through any of my 1911's. Similarly, some 230JHP's that were on the long side... never cycled in my 1911's but ran like Singer-sewin' in the Kahr. Totally different beasts.

I've used Fed. Hydra shok 230gr.,Hornady185 gr.xtp and Powr-Ball +p 165gr. with no problems. I tried Winchester Ranger T's and had problems with ftf's & fte's.

Mine will shoot anything, but I carry the Short Barrel version of the 230-gr Gold Dots. They are designed for the short barrels. The cavity is shallower but wider at the bottom.

Who carried the short barrel stuff ?, I have a fair amount of regular 230 and would like to compare.

Here's where I "flash tested" the Bonded Remington Golden Sabers, Speer Gold Dots, and the Short Barreled version, as well:

I have side-by-side pictures of the regular and SB.
SGAmmo and Cheaper Than Dirt have the GDSB. The GDSB only comes in 20-round boxes, so they cost more. Other dealers may have them at better prices, but I usually get those at SGAmmo.com or Kyles.
