    Rim locking issue.

    Hi there from down in New Zealandicon.
    My normally reliable and trusty Eddystone P14 has decided to rim lock itself every time a case or unfired round is extracted. Some how the top round ends up with it's rim behind the next one down.
    I haven't changed the way I load the rifle either one at a time or with charger clips and last military shoot it was fine.
    I can't see anything untoward and it is normally fine apart from the odd difficult to feed round which appears to be a brass manufacturer issue.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated especially since I have a rapid fire military shoot coming up soon.
    Cheers Mike
