I have a friend who has asked me to help troubleshoot his Mini. He purchased it new this year.
Problem - Failure to Fire I have given him some suggestions (all over the phone, have not seen the rifle or actual shell casings). Rifle works 100% with factory ammo. Works about 50% with reloads. Had him change primers to either Winchester or Federal. (he was using CCI). All of his reloads will work 100% in an AR after failure in the Mini.
I have several years of reloading under my belt, but not an expert. What if anything should I be looking for when I actually get to see the firearm, his reloads, failures and reloading technique. Will be taking with me a mic, and some of my proven reloads for an AR.
You have as much info as I do at this point. Thanks.
