I have a 14" Fox Ridge 300 whisper barrel. It was $225, and I was shooting 3 shot groups of around 1 1/4" at 100 yards, with a 4 power scope.

The only down side is that it is a 1-10" twist, so...

It looks like we have cut most of the variables, and I have to agree with the others that it must be a head spacing problem.

I would send it back to whoever made it, and have them look at it.

Before you answer, I have two suggestions.

1. Since you are using dummies, seat the bullet considerably deeper, and try the dummy that did not work again (don't use a bulged case).

2. Also, if...

It's been a while. I have a couple of questions. Are the bulged rounds fired rounds, or are they coming straight from the press like this?

Are you using new brass, or fired brass?

Do the good...

I agree that moving the gas port to the pistol position would be the best way to go. I do not have a problem with my AA 1680 load with subsonics, with either a full butt stock, or car, using stock...

I did not know J&T was selling the whisper. I checked their sight, and saw them at some gun shows, but never heard anything about it.

I have no doubt that SSK make a better product, and that it would work right off the bat. However, if I remeber correctly, a .300 whisper SSK upper is around $1000 (upper only). I think I paid...

I finally chronographed my 11.0 AA 1680 and 220 sierra load. Out of my 16" M1S ar, 3 shots averages 980, with a high of 1020 and a low of 933.

Only did three, as that was all I had on hand, and...

No, I have not chronograph that load. I will probably do that this week. I believe I was using federal small rifle primers (standard, not magnum).
It burns every bit of powder, and I don't think...

Midway has dies, usually on hand. They also carry the heavy Sierra bullets for the sub-sonic loads.

Sportmansguide has the best prices on Corbon load ammo I could find.

Look at Sportman's Guide. I bought a box through them, and I believe that it was around $17.00. It was the cheapest I could find, anyway.

They also carry all three loads.

What load are you shooting? It could be that it is not cycling the gun fully (look at my thread on model 1 sales problem). There are several fixes for this.

Also, it is possible that your load...

That length should be OK if it is not a light weight (125-130 gr)bullet. When you say it will not extract, are you talking about after firing, or ejecting a live round.

If it is with live ammo,...

I have another question. What kind of press are you loading on? I load on a Dillon 550, and in the powder die, if I adust it too far, it will bulge the neck.

I meant to say that I can load the heavier bullets as far out as they will still fit in the AR magazine, as that if I keep them at this length, they still go in the chamber.

Make sure you bolt works freely. Mine was very stiff, and once it broke in, it worked a lot better.
