"Interesting" Malfunction Today

[BTL BRN]

Prvi Partizan 75 grain "Match" ammunition, didn't chamber and a simple tap/rack solved it; the primer didn't ignite something I am VERY glad of! In the middle of some prone accuracy work, I simply encountered a dead trigger.

Up until now I haven't encountered any issues with this ammo, having gone through around 5-600 rounds; it has been decently accurate out of my 12.5" but probably not a true "match" round.

Bullet probably didn't have the shape of the rest of them. I don't think PRVI has a meplat, as their 75s are more of a traditional hollow point, and they expand as such. But it's possible that the point on that bullet was flatter than the rest and caught on the feed ramps/front of the mag body.

I had this happen A LOT with some surplus Federal L.E. contract bullets that I got from Wideners (I think) 2 years back. It became obvious very quickly why they were being sold off. The bullets had a very wide hollow point. They'd set back like that in several guns and sling powder into the barrel extension... creating a mess.

I regularly find rounds that look like this laying in the dirt at shooting spots. But they're always 55 gr fmjs that were fired in some junk gun.

My brother had two boxes of Winchester PP ammo and about half the bullets got pushed back into the case like that.

I would disassemble for reloading.

That goes without say. ;)
