My M1A will not eject reloads IMI brass with sierra matchking 168gr hpbtl 42gr H4895 but will eject portugese and south african surplus. With the gun at home and recoil spring out and dropping any spent brass in the chamber it will not go completely in the last little bit whereas any resized brass or live round will drop right in . Closing the bolt into battery with a any spent brass requires a pretty good wack on the op. rod handle. The spent IMI brass really sticks hard in the chamber and requires the hardest of pushes on the op. rod. I resized brass with a regular 308 and a small base die and they drop right to the bottom. I don't know much about gas guns but I reload for my M1 and it goes bang everytime and cycles great with reloaded korean crap brass. I'm going to look around for someone with some 308 go/no go gauges. Hey, any M14 experts out there? I got a $1400 dollar gun that I can't trust!
