I have been having problems with my AR15 chambered in 6x6.8. I haven't used SSI brass, Just the large primer brass, I believe it's Rem?
Now the problem is with my reloads after being full length resized with a Redding S-die. Hornady 58gr VMAX bullet under 2.240" OAL to fit the magazine. Some of these reloads do not want to chamber, and when I try to extract it is very hard and often pulls the bullet out of the brass leaving it stuck in the barrel.
Thinking more about the above, I just resized my brass, I don't think I was FL sizing enough, causing the cartridge to not fully chamber sometimes. I used a magic marker to blacken the bullet on a few dummy rounds to see if it was touching the lands, and didn't see any of those square or rectangle marks on the bullets.
What is puzzling me is the bullet getting pulled out of the cartridge with an OAL length of 2.240 and easily fitting in my PMAG's. Any Idea. I guess I will have to try again with the newly resized brass.
