My Rock Island is quite reliable, but the one time it just choked was with truncated cones.
However, I was using hybrid-lipped magazines at the time. I returned to the range, and used Wilson 47 magazines (wadcutter lips), and the cones fed just fine. I'll probably, at some point, retire my hybrid-lipped carry magazines, and replace them with the other type.
I've fed truncated cones through the full sized .45s, and they generally fed well, but have had times where I've had one or two FTFs at a 100 round range session. That's nothing at the range, but for "my life depends on it", I shoot (ha ha) for closer to 1 FTF (or other issue) per 1000 rounds fired.
I don't think I ever had a Hydra Shok failure, and even with my reloads (230gr lead RN), since going to a tapered crimp, I very rarely have any type of feed failure. My own thinking is that I'd rather keep the shooters loaded with 230gr RN FMJ and have one failure in 10,000 than to have a magazine full of "expands to ten times diameter!!!" that might FTF on round two in a defensive situation.
I suppose that's similar to "Better the .380 that you have on you than the heavy .357 you left at home", but there I am.
