Thanks for the info. Rugers in grendel and 6 Arc, for me, have always seemed to have trouble mostly feeding, but sometimes the extraction. I could not get the AR mags to reliably, repeatably, seat and feed from. Rounds would jam by hitting the top of the chamber entrance above the chamber. The guns would have more trouble with the shorter OAL type rounds; if you were doing a 2.260-ish they did better but had to feed smartly. IMO, their action's design, with that big jump from in front of the lug-space, to the chamber (the gap that accommodates the bolt lugs) is just too big of a chasm for a short OAL cartridge to handle. 308-style lengths do much better. Now others have said they were able to overcome this, but I've pretty much decided that the ruger americans in these short cartridges, I'll pass on. I do have some 308-length Americans, both gen 1 and 2, and they work fine.
