I've only run about 250 rounds through my M4 and nothing seemed to work well except the CCI Mini-Mags. I went through a few Remington Golden crap, Peters HV (made by Remington) and CCI Blazers. Some of the Blazers had bent lead, as if you bent the bullet with needle nose pliers. They seem to have been caught in the feed area along with the spent shell from the previous round. I had no failures at all with the Mini-Mags, Peters and Remington failed to feed reliably. :-[ I've tried adjusting the bolt buffer spring all the way in, halfway in, all the way out and nothing seemed to help. Yesterday, I stripped the gun and polished the sliding surfaces of the bolt and the carrier. I used a buffing wheel on my Dremel and some very light rouge for aluminum. The bolt was REALLY tight and rough before I did the polishing. I also polished the feed ramp since it was ugly and dull looking as it came from the factory. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the Blazer ammo to feed and eject reliably next time I get out. Mick

smurf, I have a brick or two of Peter's 'Flying Duck' 22lr that I bought in the late 70's/early 80's. Peters was just another branch of Remington Arms. They opened the Peter's plant to be able to ship twice the ammo to civilians during the war years. (at least that's the story I've been told.) Mick
