What’s your recipe undeg?

I am just starting a with a generic load. After function testing and getting on paper, I’ll dial in my load.

Case trim to 1.570”
30 gr H110
Hornady 325 gr FTX
OAL = 2.130”

I’ll start working up/down at .5 gr increments until I am comfortable with the groupings and all.

The MLok showed in stock so I snagged that one. I’d like the keymod but probably won’t mount anything to it anyway.

I put a 1-4 leupold II I had laying around perfect for what it is intended for

And....I’ve got feed problems. Any ideas?

They single hand feed outside of a mag correctly? Try just loading one or two in the bag and see if they feed. Bolt lubed up good? Hose it and the upper receiver down with CLP. Buffer spring binding, weak, too long/short. Mag spring binding or follower binding up? Basically the same things you would look at for a 223/556 AR would be a good place to start looking.
