I was helping a friend with his rifle last week, and he was using monarch and some other off-brand .223. he was having constant FTF's and FTE's.

I looked over his rifle, and it looked fine. I fired the same ammo in my rifle, no problem.

It was his magazines. The monarch fired with my magazines in his rifle just fine.

At least with AR-15's, getting USGI spec mags really matters.

Are you talking about the Blazer aluminum cased stuff?

I have 2 friends, one with a sig p229 and one with a pieced-together 1911 and neither of their guns deal well with the blazer aluminum cased stuff. My previous XD and my current M&P deal with it just fine. Strange.

WAs this stuff in a box, or was it wrapped in some paper?

I've had better luck wth Monarch .223 in real boxes, but the .223 wrapped in paper was awful.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm taking about the Serbian brass stuff.
