Does anybody else have any experience with Federal Gold Match 175 gr. blowing primers?
I had just gotten my GAP AR-10 to the range and it was cycling the 118LR great, but then 2 rounds of 175 went to hell.
Both fired, one bulged a primer, and then next one blew out primer and the shrapnel jammed the gun. I did call George, and no it is not the gun. A professional gunsmith looked at it and verified this personally.
Tried looking at Federal website for Customer Service, but no luck.
FYI Federal is my favorite brand, and works great in my Remington, and I have no doubt in the GA, but that is a little weird having that happen.
Any information appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil
