As for the springs, these mags have been loaded full for a year or more, sitting in the drawer. Anyways...Glad to hear that the ammo is likely part of the problem. I know I'm not a great shooter, hell, I've never been a shooter in my life except the last few years and have never shot my rifles much outdoors at a decent distance. And well, even with a 3-9 scope, I had a helluva time seeing where I was hitting with these little 5.56 rounds at 100 yards. I obvious need a lot more practice, but that is what I intend. I've got a 6.8 I plan on shooting some longer distance with, but I need to learn some better technique first.Does anyone else have trouble seeing at 100 yards? I mean, lotta people have just a 1-4x on their ARs and I have some of those, some holo sights, some red dots, etc. Good enough for minute-of-man or minute-of-pig, I suppose, but does anyone shooting small targets beyond 100 yards need something more than 9x magnification? Or are my eyes just crappy?I think I'm in the 20/25 or 20/30 range with my contacts, so I didn't expect it to be that bad. I had built this gun thinking of prairie dogs at 300-400 yrds, but at this stage I definitely think I'll need more mag and much better ammo, better training/personal accuracy notwithstanding.</blockquote>
