s Well shoot, I apparently glossed right over the fact that OP is using new brass. Disregard, I have no idea... GsT

No, and no. An AR-10 can slamfire, the initial reviews of the SR-25 rifle (circa late 1993) noted the gun would occasionally fire w/o actuation of...

Completely forgot about J. Mohr. Anybody who takes up the gauntlet of building sporters should be commended.

This event is now full. If you would like to get on the waiting list, please contact me. Thanks JC

what rifle ? an ar10 cannot slam fire..the geometry of the system prevents the firing pin from moving forward til the bolt turns(lugs engaged) stop...

ref this problem again....I measured the OD of the primer at .212" the primer thickness (depth)at .126" and the pocket depth at .130" So I...

Sounds like you have crimped primer pockets. Either swage the pocket, or lightly chamfer the primer pocket with an RCBS case deburring tool or...

With a quality front rest with a sporter bag and proper rear bag, just like a heavy gun….mostly free recoil. It is very satisfying, as I’m sure TKH...

The 'D' series has the locking ring on the A.O. -Al

Sounds like your arse is grass and they got the lawn mower. Accept their terms or leave might be your options.
