Sorry, no cast tried in it yet, but Someday soon. I had previously loaded up some 55 grain nosler ballistic tips to try with three different powders For my little Remington 600. I cleaned it the barrel the night before and had no bluing come out it. The fired cases look literally perfect now. I fixed the issue by taking the soft side piece of Velcro that had two way stock tape on it and stuck it on my shell defector. I did have dents in the middle of alot the cases along with paint chipping off my shell defector. It’s been running smooth as silk after I checked the correct Cartridge OAL and loaded them shorter. I’m sure it was a gas issue now that look back and have more knowledge on how an AR functions now.īefore my group session I took it to the range a couple times and put 43 rounds through it to make sure if functioned.
The last.and only one before it I owned was a bushmaster targeter vaminter that wouldn’t cycle and jammed every other round. It’s the first gas AR I’ve had in about 20 years.
Well, the stoner had nothing but great, sub MOA, Five star reviews so it put me back at ease a little bit like stem on midways feedback. I found out the other day that my AR Stoner was manufactured by Bear Creek Arsenal and rebranded.which I cringed since Bear creek Arsenal has had a lot of mixed and bad reviews in the past along with recent bad luck with their hiring sting(and the fact that I overpaid a $120 for the same rebranded item I bought from Midway USA). Well I finally got around to it and went out to try some group tests for the first time with my AR stoner 243 upper.
