I simply cannot make an effective .223 cartridge.
The background.
Bought a Lee progressive 1000 and some cheap 66? grain bullets from Wideners. The shells will fire fine but my AR15 will not eject the casings.
I have tried H335, H322, Accurate 2015 with (bought a scale)powder loads ranging from 23gr to 25gr at .2 intervals using all the different powders.
I figured maybe the bullets were the problem so I bought some Hornaday 55gr and tried the same graduated loads. Same results. What am I doing wrong?!
My AR has NO problems cycling with any of the factory ammo I have tried including cheap Wolf.
Any advise appreciated.
