[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1638051, member: 38154"] Could possibly be a magazine problem, try a different mag. Or could be "short stroking" meaning not enough gas to push the bolt back far enough to feed the next cartridge from the magazine. How far are the empty (fired) cases being thrown from the rifle? Are they landing at your feet, or behind you, or about a 90* angle to your right? Since it's your reloads that are causing the problem, what load (powder weight) are you using. Could be an underpowered load causing it to short stroke. If the cartridge is chambering when you feed it by hand, it is not a problem with the dies, so small base dies probably don't matter in this situation. AND as AR10man asked, are any factory loads working and functioning properly in the rifle and from the magazine? [/QUOTE]
