[QUOTE="D V US, post: 2831265, member: 34558"] Bullet setback due to a light crimp/recoil is a no go, I suspected that myself at first. All remaining cartridges in the mag still measure out to 2.800 the same as when loaded. The last cartridge chambered as well had no setback. I have been reading on other forums about the over gassing issue and how it is a common problem in DPMS .308s. They are showing pics that look about like mine as far as case head damage. Gonna have to look into an adjustable gas block. Yes the blown primers are in once fired military brass but i also have some of the same case lot fired with the same load that showed no damage whatsoever. I would have doubts with my powder measure if I hadn't weighed each charge. I'm suspecting a mechanical issue, not a load issue, but I will try it with some known factory ammo that I've used in it before and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
