I’m having a failure to feed issue that’s puzzling.
Here’s the specs on the rifle: Magpul 20 rounders, Aero Precision BCG, DPMS barrel, and a LaRue MBT.
Now for the ammo, my reloads: TAA 07 brass (Taiwan I believe) and a 168 grain SMK. RCBS sizer die, Lee seater die, Lee shell plate.
I’m having an issue with the bolt coming completely into battery. This only happens when feeding from a magazine. I never have any issues dropping the bolt with a single round already in the chamber. The issue probably happened 8 times in 30 rounds.
Factory ammo functions normally. Mysteriously (but confusingly) I never had an issue before the MBT.
I’m blaming the sizer die, although I did measure some rounds beyond 2.800” OAL (2.803” was the largest, still “should” chamber) Rounds that try to chamber but can’t come out with carbon on the neck.
What say you, INGO? For what it’s worth, I did sub-inch groups at 100 yards with 44 grains of RL15.
