Not Cheap, Federal Gold Match 168gr. HPBT.

Thank y’all it’s a great idea. At the time it broke the charging handle, trying to get it out the round and never fully seated, which lost the bolt halfway between full battery and not so the teeth were jammed. If it happens again I’ll give it a try. On the other reply Im shooting Fed Gold Cup...

Update: ended up packaging the disassembled rifle up and shipping it back to S.A. They told me a few weeks and it was about 2, not bad turn around, however they didn’t include any evaluation or findings on the round lodged in the chamber. I’m thinking they merely chucked the bad parts and...

Good thinking. I spoke with them yesterday and that’s exactly what they recommended. I need to get this weapon secure first.

I gave it a cursory look when I picked it up (there were only 6) but I need to give them a closer look. I didn’t notice any scrapes or compression. I had this problem when I made an attempt to use my progressive press for my 5.56. But never anything this stuck. I still can’t get it out with a...

The round never went into full battery so the firing pin was never able to contact the primer. So I’ll go with unfired.

The round is lodged in the chamber, sorry I should have been specific.

Thanks I’ll look into it. I’ve about exhausted all the tools I have to remove this round, it’s probably looking like a slug at this point.

Morning Folks, after a little mishap down range yesterday, I have a Federal 168gr. BTHP round lodged in the barrel. After disassembly I found the barrel wrench for my AR15 is not the correct tool. Has any one had problems with ammo and could you recommend a good barrel tool that fits this...
