Just built my rifle last week(first time ever)
Stag arms lower
16" Del-ton kit

Shot three different types of ammo through it on Saturday. 120 rounds of Winchester White Box, 120 rounds of wolf and 60 rounds of ADCOM M855. I did rapid fire and slow fire.

Wolf and Winchester shot fine with no hiccups but the M855 would shoot 3-4 shots, the next round would chamber but would not fire. I would go to open the chamber to see if the bullet had loaded, and the bullet would come out. I could not find a dent in the primer(no pictures of the bullets as I ended up shooting them all) I reloaded them and was able to fire them again.

I don't think it was an ammo problem as the guys in the ammo forum have had no issues with it, i'm just really confused.

Any help is appreciated

have you fired any other ammo since you tried the Adcom?

did you oil the gun well?
sometimes when the bolt is hot and try i will run until it fouls and cause the problem you have.

were you getting light primer strikes from chambering the functioning ammo?

I honestly couldn't tell you the answer to that. I'll load up a magazine of it tonight and see if I get any when I take her apart to see whats going on inside.
