    AR 15 handloads: Difference barrel length makes?

    I have loaded for my Remington 700 in .223 with 24" 1-12 twist for years. 50 & 55 gr Just started loading for a WW15 with 18" 1-9 barrel. 55 & 60 & 62gr I understand the loads have to be a little hotter because of the gas operation bleed off and less acceleration time in the barrel on the...

    Win M100 jams

    have an M100 IN .243. The spent cartridge sticks in the chamber, sometimes barely, sometimes very tightly. usually will eject once or twice if chamber is lubed. No obvious visible damage. One gunsmith said it is unrepairable but not why? Any ideas on possible causes and fixes?
