Hey guys, if you saw my other thread then you know I was having some light strikes with my LAR Grizzly when using Survival Ops Match ammo.
I blamed it on the Grizzly - cleaned it all up - and ended up trading it away at a local shop. I supplied a box of American Eagle with it - as it seemed to run that flawlessly.
So fast forward - and I got myself a sweet COBB BA50 in the EE. I took it out today to sight it in for the first time - and surprise - more light strikes with my Survival Ops ammo.
I fired 8 rounds - 5 failed to go off on the first trigger pull
So this is what is going on -
Light strikes (but the dent looks good in the primer) - so it fails to go off.
It usually goes off on the second time around - some took 3 hits to detonate.
The bolt is closing quite hard - which surprises me, because the BA50 doesn't have a match chamber - so it should be eating just about anything.
The chamber is nice and clean - no problems ejecting, no stuck bolt after the round goes off.
So what is going on?
Are the primers not seated well enough causing an issue with strikes and the closure of the bolt?
Give me your thoughts.
Thanks.
Also -
I have emailed Survival Ops - I emailed them in August about the problem - but didn't get much back other than "we'll check on it" (in reference to new/different primers, as I have used their ammo in the past without issue) - hopefully they will get back to me about a solution/exchange, etc.
Has anyone had issues with Survival Ops ammo lately?
