Bought LR 308F about 3 weeks ago and waited long time to get it. Just pulled out of safe to take to range. Started cleaning bcg and finished and thought would finish the rest tomorrow. I heard about all of the feeding and ejecting problems as well so I thought that I had just a little time left I would manually cycle 5 rounds in the mag to see if any would jam. DPMS told me I might be able to tell that way. Anyways I put 5 rounds of Federal 180's soft point and cycled them and they fed and ejected well. The problem is when I picked them up off the ground I noticed the lead tips were smashed and the bullet and case had scrape marks as well and then I looked at the primers and they had dents that looked like misfires as well. So I tried Hornady Tap rounds and the tips were ok but the bullets had the scrapes as well and the primers looked like misfires. Again I was worried that a slam fire was about to happen so stopped. I was in a safe location so I am safety conscious. Anybody ever see this? This is a brand new gun and I don't know how they leave the factory like this. I feel this is a serious issue because if the mag was full and slamfired could be very dangerous. I am upset that this happeded because I have an expensive paperweight in the mean time. Thanks for any comments or suggestions. And yes I am calling DPMS tomorrow. :nuts::angry:
