I adjusted the gas block initially to default setting, 18 out which is supposed to be equal to normal block. Bolt locks on last round every time and ejects 3 to 4 reliably but hammers off the deflector hard. Curling necks and even side dings sometimes.
Problem is it slides right over the next round scratching and gouging the hell out of it. If it happens to grab the next round, either the bolt lugs don't engage or the bullet launches up diagonal left and jams. Feed ramps are smooth enough to not gouge anything so I'm suspecting too much gas so it's moving too fast.
I'll try some duramags, thanks for the tip. I like having a couple different kinds for anything I load for since some handle different bullets and COAL better than others.
By the way.....Brownells was just showing Starline Grendel brass in stock if anyone needs any.
