| Bushmaster xm-15 has about 600 rounds through the rifle and I am using factory BM mags and Brownell brand mags. On the range today and I had at least 5 feed problems from different mags 3 from BM mags and a couple from Brownells mag. In each case the round would either stay inside the mag and jam the bolt or would move into somewhat of a stove pipe scenario. Several of the rounds were either dented on the side of the case and on one round the projectile jammed itself deep into the brass case. I am using Remington green/white box .223 ammo. Thanks to anyone with a diagnosis of this issue or steering me in the right direction. |

Is your rifle clean? Is it well lubed? The BCG should be generously lubed with a quality firearms lubricant (I use Breakfree LP).
Are you using hollow points? My Bushie is reliable with FMJ only, but it's 100% with FMJ. I have setback probs with hollow point, so I don't use 'em. |
