To start, im reloading wolf once fired brass w/ CCI LRP #200. I cleaned, sized, primed and trimmed all of the cases the same.
These are being shot out of an Alexander Arms 24" AWS upper on a MEGA billet lower w/ a G&R LPK and Geissele SSD-E Trigger.
I loaded 20 90gr Speer TNT rounds to a COAL of 2.200. All 20 fired without issue. Awesome.
I loaded 20 120gr Hornady Amax rounds to a COAL of 2.245. Most of them had this issue.
I loaded 20 120gr Nosler Ballistic tip rounds to a COAL of 2.245. Most of them had this issue.
The issue is i would chamber normally by pulling the charging handle all the way back and releasing the charging handle. The round appeared to fully chamber but when i pulled the trigger i just got a click. I went to extract the round but it was VERY hard to do. I had to brace the butt of the stock against my knee and use both hands on the charging handle. One of the rounds was so stuck that the case came out but the bullet was lodged in.
i ran all the remaining shells through the case gauge and they all fit except for 1. i also measured them all and they were all +.001 or +.002. I think the next thing im going to do is go back to the range with them and see how they do one by one. i have the rounds with the extra .001 or .002 marked on the case and ill see if thats the issue.
Were the COALS too long on the 120gr's and the bullet was getting stuck? Or were they not crimped enough and the inertia of chambering was dislodging the bullet and causing it go to forward?
