At my last High Power Rifle competition I was shooting my AR-15 (extremely poorly I might ad) I finished my last stage of slow fire and put my rifle away. When I went back to my shooting mat I wondered how a 9mm case got on it. I picked it up and noticed it was what was left on a 5.56 case. Now I know I have a broken shell in my rifle, or assume it was mine. I was on my 3rd loading of Lake City 04 brass.
I got home and sure as shit I have a half a case in my rifle and no broken shell extractor.
Since I've never had this happen before, what caused this? It looks like something got progressively worse.
Now this is my competition rifle I've only shot starting last year. Probably only 500-600 rounds through it. It was also cleaned the day before the match.
As far as loads go, I use 69g Sierra Match King bullets and 24.5g of AA2520
