Please answer a few ??'s:
Where'd you get it? What year is it? How was it packed (battle pack or other)? Any other ammo types give you problems? |

03, try some diffeent ammo, and bear in mind that AR's DO need 2-300 rounds to break in. Also thoroughly clean the chamber with a chamber brush or 9mm bore brush..

My son and I have gone through thousands of rounds of the PMP gazelle box commercial loads in DPMS rifles without a problem. Paspecops has the right suggestion in trying various ammo. You need to determine if the problem is in the rifle or in the ammo.

The ammo was in a battle pack and it came from Cheaper Than Dirt. The rifle functions fine with other ammo. Only about 250 rds through the rifle but I asure you it was clean when I tried this ammo.

I have shot 1,000s (5.56 and 762x51)of SA PMP ammo without a clitch. I would buy more if I could find a good enough deal.

I have shot about 1000 rds. through my BM Dissipator and never had a single MF of any nature.
Currently staring at 4k over in the corner of my computer room. Been buying mine from [url]www.aimsurplus.com[/url] I think Tennessee Guns has it also fro the same price of $39/300 Good quality ammo IMO and basically up to M193 spec. |

I've gone through a ton of the SA 300rd battle packs (Never kept count, but it's over several thousand), I've never had any problems with it. The battle pacs are hard to screw up. I found a few "forgotten" ones in a boat I bought from my brother in 1997, it sat through 100+ degrees, to-30 below for four years. Just for the hell of it, I tried it last month (I used all 600 because I didn't trust ammo that tortured), but not one FTF!
You got a nasty batch........ [i]I hope![/i] Let CTD know, they'll exchange it. Hate to hear it though, that's one of the manufacturers I trust. What lot #, & year is the stuff you've got? |

The lot number is 230 A 85 Z. There has'nt been a fail to fire. the fired round sticks in the chamber or if it is pulled out it wedges between the end of the charging handle and the bolt.

works fine for me, smells kind of weird like ammonia or something but seems fine.

Got the same batch, 230A/85Z, from CTD and have had NO problems running them through 2 BM.
What kind of mags are you using? A majority of jams are caused by the mag. |

I've noticed that ammonia smell also. Any ideas about why it smells different. I just purchased a new battle pack @ the Mobile gun show at a good price $36.95.
