LC 08 headstamps, military crimp intact, 55grain ball. your standard surplus/overrun XM193.
went to put a few rounds through it the other night (testing out the new Geiselle trigger), popped off 6 rounds, and the 7th went click. ok, odd, ive never had a misfire with factory rifle ammo.
it wasnt a misfire. really, REALLY odd jam (brass never extracted, next round fed into it, half crushed/bent the LIVE round, and stopped the bolt.
managed to get the bolt open, got the junked round out (right into a locked dud bucket), and pulled the round that never extracted out.
all of sudden, i cant get the bolt forward. ok, now im a little worried, this is my highpower / DCM rifle, with a brand new $285 trigger. tried again, still nothing. made it safe and took it out to the table and proceeded to fieldstrip it. i heard a clink, but couldnt find anything missing. then i thought, "wait a minute, i never checked that round that didnt extract"...luckily had it in my left front pocket.
the freakin primer was missing! like, literally disintigrated! the military crimp was STILL intact. upon closer inspection, i found little shards of primer all over the lower (completely pulled the lower apart, checked everything, then reassembled).
that scared the crap out of me. i checked the other 6 rounds i'd fired. NO signs of pressure, no signs of case failure, nothing!
anyone else had any similiar issues? i tend to buy GOOD ammo only for this rifle when i do shoot factory stuff, so this surprised me a bit.
