I usually shoot Remington 150gr but on the way to the range today I picked up a box of PPU 170gr. After firing the first round I had a huge problem trying to cyle the next round. The lever felt jammed and I had to pull on it like I was trying to take it off the rifle, just to get the catridge to eject. I unloaded the rifle and used the Remington ammo instead, without a hint of even a single issue. I switched back to the PPU and the same problem happened again.

The casing, dimensions and skirt are all exactly the same size as the Remington ammo (which works without a flaw) so I'm confused why this is happening.

Has anyone ever had a similar issue or could possibly give suggestions as to why this is happening with the PPU ammo? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
