[QUOTE="undeg01, post: 3201123, member: 26476"] Well, it’s not quite right yet. It might feed perfectly for 3-4 rounds, then jam. It failed to go into full battery twice. Hammer fell, but not engaged enough for a primer strike. No jams on ejection, and the bolt locks back after the last round. The casings have distinct scratches on the underside where it appears to be scraping hard as it slides over the feed ramps. Wondering if I shouldn’t pull the barrel and polish the feed ramps and locking lugs? Thoughts? That said, I’m loving the round. I put a big muzzle brake on it. Between the brake, a 4.3oz buffer and 325 gr boolits, this thing doesn’t kick any more than my 300 BLK. First shot ever from the rifle landed in the orange target dot at 50 yds. I then got dialed in a little closer at 100, and the 3 to the lower right were the last ones fired. Ran out of ammo. [/QUOTE]
