I appreciate everyone's help. I will keep this short for now and will follow up after more rounds through. The gas block set screws came lose and the block did move and disconnect from the gas tube. I aligned and slid everything back into place and tightened the set screws. The gas block is not...

Fantastic thread. Thanks for sharing.

@MarshallDodge Interesting thing happened. As I was further checking how the gas block was attached, I discovered the two hex screws were lose and the gas block was able to slide back and forth about 3/16th of an inch. I think this would explain why the bolt remained closed after firing a round...

I removed the glacier guards, everything seems to be tight and straight. I can't really see the point of connection through the ejection port or from the bottom. It appears to fit but I can't really tell for sure. I did take a can of compressed air and stuck the air tube into the gas tube where...

Winchester 223 55 grain Frontier 556 55 grain Tula 223 55 grain (Steel case) Hornady VMax hand loads All have worked flawlessly previously. Frontier, Tula and VMax were tried on Sunday and only the Frontier and Tula this morning. Would a problem with the gas block/front sight alignment cause a...

Hey everyone. Help please. Factory stock DPMS Oracle 5.56 will not cycle/eject I have approximately 2,000 rounds through with ZERO issues. cleaned frequently, every 300-500 rounds. At the range yesterday, I set up 10 water bottles and the first 6 were dead on. #7 jammed-double feed. Cleared...

I have an idea. I can let you borrow my Lee carbide sizing die. That should determine if it is an issue with the Redding sizing die or if it is something else. Text me to arrange a time.

The die is marked FL EO I know what the FL is. Any idea on the EO?

The head stamps are confirmed 9MM Luger. He has lubed the cased with a little and a lot of lube. The die is clearly marked 9MM is it possible the die is incorrect? Is there another case similar that is necked down? The only case I can think of is a .357 Sig. I am guessing it is possible to fit...

Thank you for the suggestion. He has done that. No difference with or without decapping pin.

I am asking a question for a friend that is brand new to reloading and having trouble setting up his resizing die. It is a Redding three die set #80172 and the sizing die is number 91172 He has followed the set up instructions and this is the result. I have searched here and the internet and...
