Has anyone else run into any issues with Springfield Waypoint 2020s in 308 with factory Hornady 168gr ELD Match ammo (#80966)?
It would straight up not eject - it would chamber, fire, and extract just fine (and it shoots pretty well)...but it would not actually come out of the bolt face without me prying the brass out each round. Brass looks ok (I saved a handful) but 10 rounds of it, not a single piece actually ejected. The Lithuanian/GGG 7.62 and Aussie ADI 7.62 I fired through it all extracted and ejected just fine, as well as Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr 308 - just this Hornady load would not. Brass measures out at .465-.468 case head width on the outside, so I don't think it was out-of-spec brass...primer looks a little flat but nothing grossly so.
Every round, this was the result:
Basically, I'm wondering if this is a known issue with these things, or what. I'm trying to decide if I should send it back to Springfield, or just not shoot that stuff anymore.
And it does shoot with that Hornady...
The pulled shot to the left was %100 me, I rushed it. This was at 100 yards (well, that's what the range says the distance is anyway). It has a 3-15 Vortex Viper PST-II FFP on top, nothing hugely special.
Anyway, I'm afraid if I send it back to Springfield, they might make it worse
Thanks for any ideas, or info!
