I took my Ruger American Gen 2 6 ARC to the range today. I had Hornady Precision Hunter 103gr ELD-X, Match, and Black. It did not like the ELD-X at all, which surprised me because my 20" AR shoots it very well. After some break in, it did shoot the Match and Black 3 shot groups under an inch, but not as under as I would have liked. I may be able to do a bit better using a bipod instead of my Caldwell bags. I will give it a go next time out.
It came with a 10 round Duramag, and I had some ASC 10 round mags. It fed better with the Duramag than the ASC mags. It did feed with both, just smoother with the Duramag. The last round in the ASC required a sort of double pump to feed it. I'll be the oddball here in wishing it had a hinged floor plate or proprietary mag designed specifically for it. I'm not intending on doing 10 round mag dumps with the thing.
I'm going to do some reloading for it in the near future and see what I can come up with.
