I already picked @Mthuntr brain on this one. Figured I'd see what the rest of the group's thoughts are. I took my AR in 6.5 Grendel out for the first time today. I was shooting 123 gr Hornady ELD factory ammo. When I loaded the first bullet I noticed the bolt was fairly tight on closing. I squeezed the trigger....click. I pulled back the charging handle to eject the casing and it was hard to pull back. After some effort out pops the casing, primer unfired and bullet seated in the rifling. I didn't bring a cleaning rod with me (my bonehead move) so that was a quick trip for the rifle. I measured those bullets at 2.25" overall so they shouldn't be too long.
Any ideas on the problem? I'll call the company tomorrow to get their thoughts.
