I was shooting while out camping and my AR's FCG locked up where
The selector switch wouldn't rotate and the hammer wouldn't fall.  I took
The trigger group apart and found an orange plastic let tip under the arm
That goes under the selector. This concerns me because when I checked
My HD mag one of the TAP roundswas missing its tip...
Has anybody else has problems with plastic tipped bullets loosing their tips and
Andjamming their FCG?  Itwas jammed like a primer sometimes jams the
FCG. Please forgive my errors ij typing as I don't type well pn a phone.

Problems as such are no uncommon in auto loaders,

Really be happen that the rig is running such.
In older days, such ammo (Magnum type loadings) was loaded on the hotter side for Bolt action rigs, and the working pressures (dwell of such really since the powder burnt much slower to get the speeds higher), where too high for the auto rifles since the with the slower burning powder, the gas pulse to unlock the actions was much too high.
