If you have some left, check and see if any of the bullets are loose.

Your SCAR is actually 7.62x51mm NATO, not .308 Winchester.

Doesn’t look good for anyone wanting to reload.

Nope.

But the rifles work like a hose.
The Cetme has that funky fluted chamber.
Even if it didnt dent them I would not reload them.
.308 has pretty violent extraction.

Good point .308 win is hotter.

I can when I re-structure the range to 300yds, but at its current 100yds, it's a waste of .50cal BMG ammo. The Leupold BOR System likes l-o-n-g distances, but will instantly adapt to any distance. I like to run out to 1,000-1,500yds, and I have a friend's farm up north with a 1,500yd range on 500 acres. The few remaining commercial long ranges suck; too many "mall ninjas" posturing with nice toys they've hardly/never shot well.

LOL you are correct! The ammo is Winchester 7.62x51 White Box. I’ve read White Box is crap. I have shot .308 WIN out of the SCAR and it cycled just fine.

I think I may buy some Hornady and give it a try and see if anything happens. I had one other jam with this White Box junk not ejecting, had to poke it out with a cleaning rod a couple months ago.

Note it has the cool Cetme style bayonet lug with the cleaning kit underneath.
