Multiple FTE

I used a brand new Benelli MR1 .223 Rifle and this Remington ammo. Out of the first 25rds.I ever fired out of this weapon with the Remington ammo, I had 5 FTE. It didn't matter if I loaded using the magazine, or 1 rd. at a time by placing the round into the chamber w/o the magazine in place, it still had multiple FTE. And, after just these 25 rds. it was probably some of the dirtiest ammo I ever used in forty years.

To make sure it was not the Benelli MR1, I switched to Nosler Custom Competition 77gr. ammo to zero the rifle. I also used Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 55gr. and Lapua 69gr., w/o one misfire from any of these. I did a slow aim-fire and a rapid fire w/o a glitch.

Maybe I got a bad lot of the Remington, and/or the powder load wasn't the same for each round? I purchased 200 rds.of this Remington ammo for my semi-auto rifles, mainly because of the affordability, but after the FTE experiences, I'll only use the Remington ammo from a bolt action rifle.
