[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 1923913, member: 12170"] It is Federal Lake City XM855, First run, first quality. Anything labeled under the Federal banner "XM" is first quality and not reloads or rejects. You can re-chamber a round in an AR without any bullet setback with proper neck tension and crimp. The problem is with the AR's free floating firing pin. With repeated chamberings, the firing pin actually lightly taps the primer each time which can crush the primer compound. This can create a "click" instead of a "bang". That is why if you a carrying your rifle to defend your life, you never want to re-chamber a round unless it is for training purposes only. I posted this simply for illustrative purposes. Federal, one of the best (if not the best) domestic producers of ammunition, even has a bad one every now and again. The round in question was only chambered once and the paint scratches are from removing the stuck round from the chamber. [/QUOTE]
