    I think I have identified a magazine that this happens with. I'm going to mark it and see if it repeats with any others. The last time it happenned I was able to lever it out two hands on the charging handle thumbs on the upper.
    So, for the experts. Is it possible to be a mag problem?

    Not a chance.

    The ammo is the problem. Chances are really good that the FL resize die is not pushing the shoulder back enough.

    After the last failure, I reloaded the same cartridge into the mag and it fired fine. I'll get pics if it happens again.

    Most likely when the bolt slammed home, the chamber became the resize die and allowed the locking lugs to close.

    You do realize that you just sentenced me to about three hours of chamber drop testing don't you? And if that doesn't go well, more hours of pulling on a kinetic puller.

    Risky proposition. You stand a good chance of cramming the round deeper into the case and that can have bad JuJu

    Cannelure was still showing. Any chance it has to do with soft points hanging up on the way in?
