what kind of gun problems? we have Smiths on here to help.
do you have any bouncers on here to handle the likes of scrambler??
ok, since you asked... on to the real problem.
have fired over 1,000 rounds of remanufactured ammo from once fired R-P or lake city with a few others like federal. they were seated to about 2.80 and chronoed at 2465 with 168gr amax. rifle is dpms 16” with suppressor, adj gas blk, sprinco orange spring and heavy buffer. pmag and rifle are clean… chamber, throat and barrel.
my reloads were resized with redding fl s type with shoulder bumped 5 thousandths. neck bushing 334 which was 3 thousandths smaller than my necks and holds bullets fine under recoil. cci 200 primer, 43.5 varget, oal 2.81ish. pretty close to magazine length. this gave me about the same velocity as the remanufactured stuff.
in the dark I can’t really tell what happened. i’m just trying to drop the mag, clear the jam and reload as quickly as possible. a couple times I gave up and just went back to the truck to find either..
1. empty case stuck in ejection port
2. live round stuck in chamber so hard I had to use the jaws of life on my charging handle
3. a live round halfway out of the mag and into the chamber sitting at 45 degrees laughing at me
I think the pic is from #2. that is a raised burr at the end of the scratch. after i cleared the jam, I must have slammed the bolt on what I thought was the next round, ummm maybe i hammered the case so hard with the bolt the round bent. apparently it wasn’t quite ready to feed the rest of the way.
empty cases land at 2:00
i did noticed a very slight ridge on the outside of the mouth. i didn't deburr mouths inside or out. case length is under max.
