Independence 5.56 ammo

Has anyone had trouble, like blown primers, or real hot loaded ammo. Ive read that this ammo could be dangerous?

The ammo is the 55 grain fmj xm1931. I have ten boxes of this ammo, and I wonder if this ammo caused a bad jam in my rifle, and locked it up.

I've shot 400-500 rounds of it with no issues.

I have used it without issue. If you are concerned about it though I could take it off your hands free of charge

I have shot alot of it also, but then it jammed a empty on top of a new round. I tried banging the stock on the ground, and ended up taking it to the gun shop.
If you google it says people have had problems with it and IMI ammo popping primers, and being to hot. This was in 2018, and there was a lot of complaints.
The gun smith was busy, and never said if it was a popped primer or what.No charge so I just left, and now I find this on google. I think I will shoot a different brand
from now on.

Thank you for replying. I think the empty shell was really stuck at the top of the bolt,and the rifle, it was squashed. Yes I never had trouble before this, and it always grouped well,
and fairly accurate.
