Shit that's not good. One thing, see the pin strikes are of different depths?
Head space?
What primers are you using?
Maybe the chamber is out of spec?

I would hesitate to keep shooting that until a gunsmith has looked at it.

cci

Factory will tell you right away if its a rifle issue or a loading issue it could be ether
My geuss is rifle did I hear you right that you replaced the barrel? Did you install it correctly maybe a silly question I don't know much about ar's

theres a little bit of soot on the ones with the pierced primers I'm guessing its come out from the hole in the primer yep its had a different barrel they only go on one way

Still a pain as I did a couple thousand 50 at a time. And used a giraud tool to trim and chamfer. They are all loaded up now. So less work loading them next time for the ones I manage to pick up.

A vld reamer, a corded drill with the push button keep on break finger button, g clamped to the bench, and keep feeding brass. Result, de crimped brass and bloody sore thumbs.


As to op, head space issues.

i use a rubber band(old tube) or a cable tie pulled over the trigger on a drill sitting in a vice for all the case tools.

Thanks guys going to take it apart and get headspace checked first

ok many thanks to one of our gc forum members it appears I have a rather bad headspace problem

great to read you now know what issue is....now get it sorted then go shoot some more....all that stress needs some recoil therapy.

you bet and a nice shoulder massage

Glad you got to the bottom of it.
Hopefully it will be an easy fix.

Good stuff. If that bolt worked OK in a different barrel I would be suspicious of the barrel. If the bolt is OK, head space is adjustment on an AR barrel is a major.
