    I've spent about 1500 rounds in the last couple months of Barnaul .223, 55gr. and 62gr. I have had several hard, very hard primers. A few once struck rounds I've actually put back in the chamber and they have fired after being hit the first time. ( I know, I know...duh... I had to determine cause though)

    Has anyone experienced issues with this ammo lately? Bad batches?

    I originally thought it might be my rifle, but I saw another rifle tonight experience the same issues with it.
