I've had some trouble with the loads I just built for my AR ( .223 ). The brass (Lapua ) was used once in a bolt rifle, I ran the brass thru a full length die, reamed the primer pocket and loaded them at 1 grain under the max load. I have no problems with factory loads.
When I shoot my loads there are two problems.
1. The brass does not eject, I have to use a cleaning rod to bump it out of the chamber.
2. The primer either sticks out a little, or it just comes out of the case completly.

Any suggestions???
