[QUOTE="Deputy819, post: 2561654, member: 98025"] 😂🤣 Well, this new endeavor isn’t starting out so well. So, I wanted to continue to support my LGS and went back to them yesterday and purchased a SIG ‘Tango’ MSR 1-6x24 optic and a box of [B]PPU [/B]ammo (125gr) to get ‘er on paper. Got the optic on the rifle, loaded up the magazine, chambered a round and pulled the trigger. “[B]Click”! [/B]Dropped the Mag and tried to eject that round and the charging handle wouldn’t budge. Seriously? Ended up having to ‘mortar’ the rifle to get the round out. Thought maybe it was just a ‘fluke’ and tried again with a different cartridge. [B]Same results [/B]the second time. Had to mortar the rifle again to get the round out (oh, and just barely a hint of a primer strike on those 2). Tried a different approach next….dropped a new round directly into the chamber and sent the action into battery and seated the magazine. This time the rifle went “[B]BANG”[/B], but did not eject the fired case. Long story short….I ended up doing this 3 times and each time had to open the upper, slide the bolt carrier group out, insert a cleaning rod into the muzzle and knock the case out of the chamber…..and it took quite a bit of force to do so. “[B]Houston, we have a problem” 😐[/B](good primer strikes on these). I stopped messing with it after all that and I’ll be taking the rifle back to the LGS from whence it came today as soon as they open. Here’s some pics of the 3 pieces of brass that were actually able to be fired in the rifle. There’s some pretty good horizontal striations on all of them…..and it’s a little difficult to see, but part of the top of the case head on each piece is actually [B]sheared off…[/B]I’m guessing by the extractor? Not having much fun here yet, fellas..😂🤣 Is the problem the rifle or this particular brand of ammo?🤔 [ATTACH alt="BB7C0468-A976-4F69-AFB8-5E465B33BA19.jpeg"]374927[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="A5D37361-A03B-4E33-8546-8ACE4D314B3A.jpeg"]374928[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="EC6192F3-0174-4409-ADF7-D09F4EF423FD.jpeg"]374929[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
