[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1951671, member: 91783"] I find the design of their chamber interesting . The helical / spiral grooves cut into the chamber walls make it not friendly for the re-loader as well as the chamber being a slight amount larger in diameter . I do believe that the design was meant to not be re-loaded for at this point . They say it is to assist in extracting the fired round . If you have all of the parts tuned to each other and are running the right powders bullets you shouldn't have extraction problems like they did early on with the m16 . When the military wanted to use some of their left over ball powder , it was a hotter burning powder, they didn't change any thing but the powder so things didn't work out so well . You had the BCG coming out of battery before the brass cooled enough to release from the chamber walls so you pulled the rim off of the case then tried to push a round into the chamber on top of the spent round , not good in a military arm during a fire fight . It appears to me that they were trying to overcome the need to fine tune their combination of parts to accommodate for the variances in tolerances in all the manufacturing of NATO ammo by the varying NATO Countries thus having a candidate for submission for a contract with the military in mind .
