I have a AR style 450 Bushmaster, Anderson lower, Bear
Creek upper. I've had it for 3yrs now and shot quite a few deer
with it. Long story short I come into a bunch of
FMJ ammo and I wanted to reload it. So
off to the range I go to burn it up.
My problem is after 9 to 10 shots and it gets pretty hot it will not feed.
Let the gun cool back downtown touch and we go to 9 to 10 shots repeat.
Gas block is tight, cleaned twice, lubed, cussed, prayed, laughed, cried but shoot 9 to 10 shots and same thing . Anyone have any ideas ?
Could you give more detail?
What exactly happens, down to the smallest detail?
I assume the last round fires, and extracts, and ejects. Then what? Does the bolt skip over the next round in the magazine? Does the next round get picked up but then nose dives into the feed ramp? Does the next round half feed into the chamber but gets stuck diagonal and the bolt crushes the case body half way up?
Do you run it dry, or wet?
How dirty is your gun after 10 shots?
Are you shooting pointy bullets or wide flat nose?
I have a 50 Beowulf. I've had to learn a few things.
More detail?
