I'm going to bead blast them and cerakote them and hopefully that will improve the lubricity a bit. Anybody every try doing that? I did it with a few .223 mags just to get uses to doing it and it worked amazingly well so I expect the same results.
If you are getting cuts in your brass check to be sure you have M4 ramps and check the ramps and lug edges on the barrel extension for sharpness. Sometime, particularly on new guns sharp edges will slice brass. You can smooth them a little with a small file or dremel tool to fix it.
