Gun and gear reviews Aguila 308 junk?

Anybody else having problems with this ammo? Had two different 308 bolt action rifles try to fire this stuff and it won't ignite the primer on either of them. Rifles work fine with other ammo.

those light strikes, can i assume all 3 rifles you shot these out of were push feed? It may be likely that the ammo is a little out of spec and being pushed too far down the chamber, i say this because back when my M1 Carbine was legal i shot Aguila 30 carbine alot. and it held up just fine. And since Light Strikes is usually due to the Rifle not the ammo, my only theory is because it failed in 3 rifles, that all 3 were push feed and they maybe got pushed too far down the chamber? Then again the light strikes i see, may simply be a bad angle on the picture.

Yeah maybe they were a few thou out of spec. Might have to get out a vernier tommorow and measure the case
