Both, I really believe its the ammo. It does shoot but not cycling smoothly and of course it sticks when hand cycling. When its sticking it is transmitted through recoil. I did check all spent rounds and none showed evidence of excessive pressure.

Sorry for not being more specific. That is my next plan of action. Thank you.

I have completed my LR 308 build. It is a 20" 1-10 twist 308 win socom style barrel with matching BCG w/ side eject. I matched to an 80 percent lower with spec grade single stage trigger. I have a A2 fixed stock and buffer tube matched for 308 ,extreme duty tube spring and buffer. My problem is that the rounds are sticking when they chamber. I have checked and resized my loads using new Hornady match grade dies. OAL is exact to loading manual. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and how can I get this problem sqaured away.
