First .223 reloads - Sucess and Major FAIL

<< < (5/14) > >>

00BUCK:
Wow that might be a bad batch. .221 is not right.
Here is a Hornady .224 55gr FMJWC in the mic.

Oleshome:
Well crap.  Hopefully this is just one bad box and not the whole damn case of 1000.  Otherwise, i'll have to throw them really hard at the target not sure my arms that good anymore.  Getting old...  Makes me wonder how the other 26 worked then too.

Oleshome:
How does any of this explain the factory round that did the same thing though?  I can understand the reloaded ones but I tried one from the factory.  When that pushed in too I knew for sure something bad was up.

cckyle:
Could it be that the bullet that was sitting in your barrel wasn't even far enough down the barrel to allow the next round to be seated in the chamber all the way?  Then when you cycled it, the next round hit that bullet and forced the bullet from the next round into the case?  The next round hitting this not letting the BCG to move all the way forward and lock into place, thus not allowing it to function properly when you pulled the trigger? 

Are there primer strikes on those 3 rounds?  I'm guessing not.

00BUCK:
If you are shooting an AR make sure that if the upper has M4 feed ramp cuts that the barrel also has them. This issue pops up on ARFCOM now and then.
