I used the lanolin oil & iso heet recipe for the 1st time today. Worked great. 1 tablespoon lanolin oil, 8 tablespoons iso heet mixed in a small spray bottle, shake well. Placed a paper towel around a small block of wood & sprayed it down. Rolled the cases back & forth several times to coat. No stuck cases.

Finally got some fmj to try. PMC & Tulammo. Also had a new 10 rnd pmag. Polished the feed ramps & broke the edges on the adjacent lugs. Both new ammos worked very well in both mags. No ftf or fte. Still getting the heavy scratch on the inside of the case rim like b4 on the brass ammo only, but not on the neck. Tried the SP again & had same old problems. So I guess problem solved.

How many rounds are we talkin' here to get this done?

I just got a new Windham Weaponry AR10 in 308. Cleaned it before I took it out yesterday for the 1st time. Nothing but problems. 1. Feeding issues (pic attached) had several jams. Loaded 6 to 10 rnds in mag, all with same problem. Scratches on case neck & rim are same width apart. Measured with calipers. Looks to be the same as the grooves on the feed ramp. 2.Failure to extract several times (pic attached). Case stuck in chamber several times, nearly impossible to pull the charging handle to get it out. Burnished area on case about 3/8" above rim. Don't know if it's a gun issue, ammo issue, or a mag issue. Feed ramps we not lubed before shooting. Would lightly lubing the cases help? Let me know what u think. WW-308, Magpul 7.62 20 rnd mag, Freedom Munitions factory reman 308 150 grn soft point. I managed to shoot 40 rnds before frustration set in & I called it a day. I have ordered some new 308 fmj (not from Freedom) & a 10 rnd Magpul mag.
