Ok went out and tested some more loads today and had feeding issues out of my magazine. Could t get any to chamber out of the mag or to eject. So I tried single feeding them and they feed and the bolt closed when I pulled it back and let it slam home and the shell ejected fine. But to eject them when they were feed from the mag I had to tap the buttstock on the ground and pull on the charge handle at the same time. What is the issue in the mag or is it the sizing of the brass. I have had this issue before but has been awhile since I had it after bumping my shoulders back a little more. I'm thinking it might be in the mag because they would single feed any help would be great. This is frustrating.

Sounds like a magazine issue. Does it lock back on an empty magazine when you fire it?
Hard unfired extraction is usually due to not enough shoulder bump.

It did lock back on the mag when I hand loaded them but left the mag in.

Check your magazine catch making sure it is good and tight. You might try the upper on a different lower. I would definitely try two or three other magazines. Right now I'd concentrate on case sizing. That won't take a trip to the range.

Do I need to even seat a bullet to see if it will chamber?

Do I need to even seat a bullet to see if it will chamber? I don't. I just run the bcg by hand with the upper off the gun using sized cases. Make sure you have a minimum of 0.003 shoulder bump. Greg

Ok I'll try that. What exactly could be wrong with the magazine?

Ok I'll try that. What exactly could be wrong with the magazine? First off has it run before? Make sure the follower is moving freely. Look at the lips. Do they look OK? Greg

It has run before don't know how old the mag is though I didn't get it new. Can you explain to me what all the parts are and what they do maybe I could have a better under standing then. It's a asc 10 round mag. I also have a 25 round pri mag too.

It's a asc 10 round mag. I also have a 25 round pri mag too. Take the base plate off. Clean everything. Reinstall. Note how the spring fits up in the bottom of the follower. Fill the magazine and make sure the bullet tips are pointed up slightly. Google feed lip adjustment if they fo not. Ritch and I run ASC's almost exclusively. We have not encountered the non-feed. If you have an adjustable block open it up tad. You may be on the edge if undergassing. Enough to lockback but not enough to strip a round off. Greg

My problem is chamberi got the first round with the charging handle out of the mag. I was able to feed them in by hand then close the bolt by pulling back on the charging handle and letting it slams home.

Your single feed and dropping the bolt is actually sizing the case back enough to chamber but too tight for extraction. If it strips the next round then you have isolated it to your reloading process. Greg

The mag was empty so I don't know if it would chamber the next round. I was feeding single by hand. But when feeding single by hand it ejected them and locked back on the empty mag. It won't chamber them without a bullet it's hitting the grooves in the barrel does it need a bullet to ride up over them grooves or what ever they are called to get in the chamber? I took the mag apart and cleaned before I tried that.

In a safe place try this. Lock the bolt back and point the muzzle down. Drop a round in the chamber. Does it go in freely or do you have to push on the base to get it to seat. Now point you muzzle up and the round should fall out.

Ok if I do what u say I did it with a funny round it went in and come out. But I tried to feed it out of the mag and the bolt wouldn't close had to tap the butt stock on the ground and pull the charging handle at the same time to eject it. Maybe it's just the shoulder needs to be pushed back further.
