Thank you for the links to those pages. I’ve enjoyed reading them. The plastic plate bugged me but now I see it’s for a scope mount (I’ll never use). I have been getting some grief about it being a universal but a few lines I read made me feel better about it.As with all these, even issue guns, they are finicky when it comes to ammo. They like GOV issue surplus but the commercial ammo is hit and miss.
Going with what Corgi Rancher says, I'd inspect all your parts for anything out of the ordinary and any wear.
@O4L posted this link somewhere before and I saved it. I don't know of another resource as indepth.

If you reload - 15gr of W296 or H110 (identical powder) behind a 110 gr bullet. That's pretty much the USG load.
