I'd give a box of factory ammo a try. Sounds like you could be overgassed and the bolt is coming back across the mag before the next round (or follower) has a chance to come all of the way up
it is stout about 100 fps faster than hornady 103 eldx I have tired different lowers different gas blocks all the buffer weights from 3-6oz carbine tube and spring it has the +1 gas system have had adjustable and fixed gas blocks on it have had 200 rounds threw this barrel trying to get to to work have tried factory and no luck there today I pulled the barrel and can not see anything wrong with it first pic is where the bolt stops the second it with it locked back
