Of all the guns I have, I have not started reloading for .223, so I decided to try since I scored some Sierra 55gr BTHP GameKings and some 69gr MatchKings off a relative. I made some dummy rounds to see how they feed in my AR but for some reason, when I chamber a round, the bolt will not open. I have to slam the stock against a hard surface and it "loosens" the bolt so I can pull back the charging handle and extract the chambered round.
So right now, I haven't made any live rounds until I can figure out why it's doing this. I'm using PMC and Federal once-fired brass (that came out of this specific rifle). It was full length sized using an RCBS FL Sizing Die.
Any ideas?
