First .223 reloads - Sucess and Major FAIL
Oleshome:
I'm thinking that CCKyle may have hit on it. I'm not sure how far past the chamber the squib was. I should have measured it but at the time i was far more concerned about getting the bullet out. That would explain why I didnt get a much worse result.
Oleshome:
I'm not sure about the feed ramps. I'll have to check. I'm really thinking the squib kept the other rounds from chambering fully. that theory just makes sense considering the results. Now i'm curious though..

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.

Take a picture of the box for us, with all of the details on it. Such as ".224 FMJ RN-BT"
Oleshome:
Can do once i get home.

If that is the issue, why doesnt the mil have the same problems?
