Gunsmithing steel casing for ar-15 rounds jamming

[skydivingpt]

I have recently purchased my 1st ar-15 rifle, DPMS Panther. I was shooting Wolf ammunition which was steel-cased and after only 6 rounds the rifle jammed w/ a live round in the receiver. I was able to extract the round w/ help from DPMS's tech's over the phone. They said not to use the steel cased rounds due to the rust-resistant "resin" clogging up the gun. Does anyone know the best way to clean this "resin" from the upper receiver? Will bore cleaner alone do the trick?

Go buy a chamber cleaning brush and just use it to clean the chamber .... you will be fine

Have you tried SilverBear? They're supposed to be some kind of coated alluminum/alloy casing.

I'm not a big fan of Wolf in .223, the red primer sealant flakes off and gets under my ejector.
