[QUOTE="Okie4Life, post: 2221346, member: 17516"] I was shooting Remington UMC. I agree, after more thought, the slight movement in the slide (which isn't much) I believe is from the ejectors slight movement around the rim of the cartridge. If the round is jammed partially into the chamber and cant go any further, that would prevent the slide from closing. And if the round is locked partially in the chamber and the ejector is already past the rim, the slide cannot be retracted without ripping the rim off the cartridge. If it was something wrong with the round (don't know haven't heard back yet) I wonder what Remington would say about it. It was a factory box of Remington UMC ammo. I didn't closely inspect every round, but I did have to load it into the magazine and don't recall anything of about any of the other cartridges. I think it may be time to inspect the remainder of the box and the other boxes while I'm at it. [/QUOTE]
