Hi guys, I’m hoping someone will be able to help me with my reloading problem…
I’m fairly new to reloading and just started reloading 223. I’ve noticed that about 1 out of 10 shells that I produce will not fire when I pull the trigger and then get stuck in the camber of my AR. Stuck to the point that I need someone else to come over and hold my AR while I pull on the charging handle with all my strength to get it to spit out the unused shell.
Reload data is as follows:
Case trimmed to: 1.75
Over all length: 2.25
Bullet: Speer 55 HP
Powder: Ramshot TAC 23.5 grains
Primers: CCI small rifle
(When seating the primers I make sure they are slightly below the surface of the shell.)
So… I am hoping one of you guys can figure what noobie mistake I am making. All comments and suggestions are welcome.
FYI: The AR seems to fire fine with factory produced ammo.
