| I just built my first AR last week and got out to the range to shoot in yesterday. My order from OM hasn't arrived yet so I stopped off at the local WalMart and picked up some Remington 223. I only shot 40 rounds and when I picked up the brass, I noticed that 2 of them were missing the primer. Any ideas? What should I look for? I still have 20 more rounds left, should I get rid of them? Appreciate any suggestions, thanks! |

Missing a primer is usually indicative of an over pressure condition. Either the ammo is too hot, or your chamber is too small (or some combination). In my experience Remmington ammo is a mild load (compared to M193), but lately there have been several posts reporting the same problem so maybe there was a mess up at the factory. |
