I want to build an accurate round for my Tavor. I'm trying to plunk it for the best OAL but not having much luck. I've done this before but only on my .9mm and .40 cal. handguns, (with great success in the accuracy dept.).
I tumbled, trimmed and deburred a few cases and set the bullets in long, 2.360, to start from. I also "painted" the bullets with a Sharpie so as to be able to see the lands marks. I dropped the round in, easily let the slide slide forward a couple times and them let it slam forward from about half way so it would grab and eject the round.
Not only did the bullet not move into the case but I can not see any land marks. What gives?? How can that be?? Is it possible a Tavor is set up different in that regards, than a AR-15?
I'm hoping to reload an accurate round for my Tavor, as I have for my hand guns since I shoot competitively (it does make a difference, I'm happy to say) but it seems an accurate round by plunking for the best OAL isn't going to be in the cards. (??????)
Anyone have any other ideas? Has anyone else come across this?
