I would like to start using my WASR-10 for some hunting and I would need to shoot HP or SP bullets. However the problem is my rifle doesn't like to feed either of those rounds. It will eat up FMJ like it was designed to do but the other rounds get caught up on the breach face.
The SP's will almost always feed but they are deformed quite badly and the HP's will feed ~80% of the time but get deformed as well. The SP's don't shoot as well as the HP's and I'm guessing it is because they are mashed up.
(The circled holes are flyers, I felt myself flinch a little on those.)
I ran a search on fixing this and I'm thinking about enlarging the bevel on the breach face. (See pic.)
My problem is some people said this is a big no-no and others said it is alright and I'm not sure. Also, I know the barrel is chrome lined but does that extend through the chamber? Is there any chance the chrome could start chipping off if I do this? What are some other problems that could occur and how can I avoid them? Thanks in advance for the help.
