RE: 45 ACP chamber
Could be a number of things.Your chamber is dirty like you said and causing the newly fed round to hang up.The ramp may need to be polished.I would take it to competent gunsmith.Try different brands and ammo.Maybe the JHP won' t feed where the FMC will. It might be something very simple that you' re not seeing.Hope you get it straighten out.
