Just under 2 months from the Oct 14 OP...

Haven't shot it yet, but swapped out the gas block with a BAD titanium and painted the safety levers. not quite a match but better match then the FDE. Also scored 320 factory rounds on Gunbroker for what I think was a fair deal, 180 87gr Soft Points  and 120 100gr Swine Smashers.

Nice, you have plenty of ammo to try. You going to hunt with the most accurate one?

Why would I want to do that?

I though soft points were a no-no in an auto-loader?

The hot core speer have exposed lead, factory ammo at Sharps Rifle Co. Only thing they sell.

Cycled a bunch through,  no deformation. 

The M4 ramps are fairly gentle on that diameter.

My duty ammo is soft points that were issued to us. Never had an issue

I loaded up some older Sierra 150 grain flat base soft point bullets back when we were working up some hunting loads for our Colorado trips.  They functioned flawlessly and deadly accurate in every rifle we have here.  Settled on the Barnes 175 grain bullets instead but wouldn't worry about soft points thru these rifles for hunting.......

Thank you Gentlemen for setting me straight on my misunderstanding of soft points and auto loaders...

Its like finding out girls don't have cooties. My pool of potential friends just doubled. 😁

[Belt Fed]

Soft points is all I hunt with in AR's.  never a feed problem.

[Albroswift]

Now in my BAR 338WM its another story,  turns softpoints into a profile resembling the tip of elf shoes! Never had a good group until I went with SSTs, ELD-Xs, and recently TTSXs

Not true brother! You have to shave one side and soak the other side with gasoline. You set that side on fire and when the cooties run over to the shaved side you stab 'em with an ice pick!

Sheesh, everybody knows that!

[unforgiven]

 I thank God that none of my bevy of bueatys gave me the cooties. 😬

I remember over filling my Zippo and getting the lighter fluid on my leg. I thought I was on fire.

I did that several times back when I used to smoke. Lighter fluid is bad!

You know, talking about Zippos and cooties kinda dates us brother! Oh well, these younger folks will never get to experience a lot of the shiit we did! Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing!😋

Then when the "Bic" type came out people were getting burned up when something ignited the lighter when it was on there person. So we got one and put it on a chain link fence and lit the other end and like right now it was a roaring flame thrower . Hahaha good times.

Hanging out at my favorite dive bar. After closing one of the Young bucks comes flying down the street in a pinto doing 180s slamming on the brakes going back and forth. We thought that was funny as $hit. Later on you find out the Pinto's are rolling gas can as was the 64 Mustang that my wife had at one time. I started behind the wheel at 14.
