Was shooting at the range yesterday.
LR-308/TAC20 (7.62 NATO chamber)
Factory loaded Remington .308 Winchester "Core-Lokt" 180 gr pointed Soft point.
This ammo is brand new and has been stored for about 3 weeks in airtight ammo cans with dessicant
in a cool, dark, dry vault.
3 rounds out of 40 lost their primers and I had to field strip the rifle to get them out of the lower receiver
where they had blocked the trigger.
In one case it was impossible to seperate the lower and upper because it jammed the bolt. It would not close
and I could not pull it open with the charging handle. Since the bolt was still partway into the buffer tube
it prevented me from taking it apart.
I had to actually pry the bolt open through the ejection port using a very well padded screw driver so I wouldnt
screw up the aluminum.
I would have thought this to be a "pressure too high" indication, but this is factory ammo
and I've been told 18 bazillion times that this rifle will shoot any commercial .308 ammo
by DPMS and many others.
The rifle is fine and ran perfectly on some 40 rounds of factory loaded Federal 150 grain FMJ ammo
after the remington.
Just looking for any thoughts or opinions.
