I am having problems with a New AR I just got through building . I have been reloading for years and this is the first problem I have run into that I have not been able to work through.. I admit through I have not been reloading for the 223 for that long so think of me as a newbe I need help!!!!
I have a JT 5.56 upper with A Lauer lower . Here is the problem, it will shoot any thing I put through it as long as it is factory ammo, I have about 20 rounds of factory and about 100 rounds of reloads through it so far but it is not reliable with the reloads. I have checked and re checked all the reloads with a case gauge each one falls in and out with ease. I have checked OL and it is ok all so. I am not sure what to look at next. This is the 3rd JT upper I have bought with the same issue they run great with reloads after a couple 1000 rounds of factory ammo but not before. I Keep going back to JT because of the customer service and quality of there product. I have a OLY upper and it has been reliable with every thing I have run through it from the start. What am I doing wrong? |

Are you using a good powder that has true information on .223 reloads (i.e., pressures, fps, grains, etc.)?
- Is the powder new or old? Recommend buying some different/same powder as well. - Check the primers too. I recommend Winchester primers. - Is the bullet seating in far enough? - Is the ammo malfunctioning before it chambers (feeding) or after it fires? |
