Stijn, I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my post. What I wanted was for you to remove the barrel, hold it chamber-end straight up and drop a round in.
As for your OALs, you want to run as long as you can. I run everything at 1.265 with a .470-.472" crimp(I don't use swcs). I think your LSWC are correct, that's why you never had any problem with them.
Try this, run a small batch of your 230grain reloads at 1.265. Let me know if they feed for you, I think your rounds may be too short because your magazine has long feedlips.
Stijn, and everybody else who reloads; Remember, the 1911 was designed to feed FMJ rounds at 1.265 OAL. With any round you load, the closer to that length you are, the better it will feed unless you're using Wadcutter magazines. These are easy to spot as the feedlips are very short compared to a standard or even a hybrid magazine feedlip.
