Here are the specs: -Brand new RRA .223 Wylde upper with 20" bull barrel -Spikes lower (functions flawlessly with Stag 16" M4orgery upper) -Ammo: Hand loads; remington peters cases with sierra 63 grain bthp (these also function flawlessly in the Stag 16") -1 new 30rd P-mag -2 used 20rd Colt mags Here's the problem: If the mag is loaded with more than 5 rounds (this happens with both Colts and the P-mag), the rifle will fire, eject the spent casing, but it will not load the following round. If the mag is loaded with 5 or fewer rounds, everything functions correctly. Any thoughts on what might be causing this? |

Got it figured out. The case was catching on the magazine and would not allow it to feed properly. It's a little hard to describe...sorry. Just went through and filed off that little part of a junk magazine to test to see if that was the issue. Sure enough, worked like a charm |
Not so much. Problems are back. |

From the site, data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp 69 GR. SIE HPBT IMR 4198 Bullet Dia .224" OAL 2.235" Min 18.3 2706 46,300 PSI Max 19.5 2818 52,300 PSI With the above data, you are over the top, and even worse with the use of a mag primer. Plus, you may even be flirting with bullet embedment with the longer OAL (guessing that you have at least confirm the needed OAL for kissing and the reason that you are longer). |
