[QUOTE="lyle2231, post: 3053783, member: 76736"] In the early days when the AR was being used in the nra matches the same problem surfaced with Federal brass. We ( my shooting buddies) determined that the ammo was loaded hot, 5.56 pressures or primer diameter was too small. What we missed was the aspect of the brass being softer than it needed to be. Changing to a nickel plate primer solved some of the problems but it only gave -2- more reloads. The gas etching on the bolt looks bad but what we experienced was no effect on accuracy with new or once fired brass. Head space was not an issue. [/QUOTE]
