Hey guys, been reloading pistol for a while now, recently started .223 a few months ago. The problem I'm having with .223 is for some reason some of the cartridges that I'm making are getting stuck in the barrel so that the bolt assembly isn't able to close all the way and the gun won't fire obviously because of this. When I try to pull back the charging handle, it's really hard to pull back and I pretty much have to bang the gun on the table on it's stock while pulling the handle to get the bullet stuck out of the barrel.
I am using 55 gr FMJ .223 bullets and once-fired military brass. The brass is trimmed to the proper length and I even tried seating the bullet a little bit deeper and it's still not fixing the problem.
