    I need a sounding board here folks. I'm wondering if my chamber is not cut to tight.

    Ar10 built by dtech arms with shilen select match barrel.

    Typically when I do loads for any AR platform, I lod them long, let it BCG stick, rap it on the ground, measure, seat shorter, rinse and repeat until I find the lands. Once I find the lands, seat to whatever jump I want, and all is right with the world.

    On this one, I kept working it back until I was dead enough to make me start wondering if it was the bullet. I decided to throw full length sized brass in with no bullet, and it still stuck. I dont mean barely stuck, I mean bounce the rifle off the ground 10x to get un stuck. My brass length is 2.02 (hair shorter than spec).

    What am I missing here? I'm not the AR expert a lot of folks here are, but I'm not a newbie either.
