    Called Gunworks and they very kindly said "Send it back and we'll swap if for FNB"

    BIG SHOUT OUT for Gunworks.

    Cheers

    Primers not hot enough for a dense load of ball powder. go to mag primers.

    Seen this a lot recently.

    Not a primer issue.

    So just to make sure, because I want to trust my loads, I load up another 100 rounds of FNB and PMC, exact same load, exact same primers and exact same projectiles...ALL fire seamlessly..bang bang bang. Guess my pea shooter doesn't like the RG machine gun brass.

    God save the Queen

    We shall call this issue "Machinegun-itis"!
    Still can't quite wrap my head around this. Going back to the start to re-read

    Just an idea - the fail radio matches the mix of ball vs tracer that the army uses (1per 5 i think). Is this brass damaged in some why once fired? I dunno, just throwing it out there. Probably not as it ended up in a straight sequence an stead of spread out.
