If you insist on loading neck-sized ammo for the AR you are asking for greatly decreased functional reliability.

Thank you, it appears this was "the part I was missing"
I have not used any neck sized only in the rifle and have seen to many pictures of KB's. Also saw one a guy brought into the shop, a brand new Smith even. It was completly destroyed. Of course he was trying to blame S&W and then the shop owner, but when asked what kind of ammo he was using for some reason he didn't remember.
First it was one brand, then another then he said he had some reloads also but never did bring any ammo in with the gun.
