556 hard primers

[Psode27]

I have probably 6-700 rounds of 5.56 that I have serious reliability problems with in several AR rifles. What do you guys do with this sort of problem? Hard primers on many of them, rarely can I finish a mag or two without having one go "click", then wait a little bit, then eject the round. I love my ARs but what a pain in the butt. I would like to get rid of the hard primer stuff soon. Beefier spring? I have switched to a different kind of ammo (prvi?) and all is well. thanks!

I'll give you $10 for the Crap Ammo...

I'm not THAT frustrated! Just kinda pisses me off! I like my AR but I'd like to know that whatever I feed it, it'll function!

What Ammo was giving you troubles?!

 

[Psode27]

Okay I was wrong, it was actually the prvi ammo that is/was giving me issues. I bought some of this stuff Prvi Partizan PPU .223/5.56 M193 55grn FMJ 20rd Box back when ammo was REALLY sky high a few years ago. I think I have been shooting a different kind of prvi (blue and white box) lately with zero issues.

FWIW I checked my hammer spring to see if I installed it upside down (I hear this is a common reason for light primer strikes) and all is good!
