First day at the range. And have a question.

I've never had a failure in my rifle 
, same thing, but I saw some pretty rough looking soft points when I inspected without firing 
. I did this because of the large chunks of lead I found on the magazine follower. I've stopped testing soft points since then. They were pretty accurate which I didn't understand because the bullet would get deformed and maybe pushed back a little, I never measured. I noticed afterwards that the Armalite tech notes on the web site say not to use SP ammo.
I'm betting the ammo. You can shoot a bunch with an AR-10 before maintenance is an issue, more than I've been able to afford! Take a look at a few rounds that have just been cycled, not fired and you'll be able to check me off. Best of luck, but then you don't need that with Armalite!
