I was out Shooting my Colt Match target AR today, and I had a problem. The gun would fire and eject the spent casing, then when it tried to reload it would Jam and push the lead of the bullet half way into the casing, It did this about 8 times out of the 40 rounds I put through it, I was Using 53 GR. Winchester super X hollow points. I've had the Gun for a little over a year and this is only the second time it has Jammed, Could it be something with the Gun Or just the Ammo?

Thanks
Josh

does this occur with more than one of your mags?  i.e. have you eliminated the possibility that it's a mag problem?

I have had this happen - but only as a mag problem.  Try pushing up on the mag as you fire and I bet it goes away.
