[Armed Eye Doc]

Great write up on your upper build.  Did the 0.096 fix the cycling issue?

Hey Eye Doc,

Yes, I finally got out yesterday to try the Gas Port size increase. It worked flawlessly. Locked back on an empty Magazine, and successfully fed rounds from the Magazine until empty. I'm using the 10 Round PMags that are meant for the .308 and 6.5 Creed. No mods necessary, but I've only loaded five rounds so far. Everything I read says anything more than 5 rounds will begin causing failures to feed. I'm going to play with it of course. There are several Companies who have had modified Magazines, where it appears they cut down the follower, and put something in the leading edge of the Mag to limit forward travel of the rounds. Also, possibly added something to the sides to limit the rounds moving side to side. One company in Phoenix is still advertising the Magazines, but they are basically in limbo right now due to some legal issues over some polymer frame design issues for their 5.56 and LR-10 size Rifles. Some woke assed company he helped in the past shut down, and didnt produce the Rifles they were going to produce, but when they shut the doors, one of their employees went to work for this company, and then the woke company wanted to sue. This is related to Young Manufacturing as well, which is why their website is still there, along with the other company, but neither answers phones or appears to be selling anything. 

Anyway, yes, the interpolated Data from the three Threads in here worked flawlessly. Now, we'll see how this Bear Creek Barrel works out with some reloaded Ammo. The 55 Grain BTSP S&B Ammo won't do any better than about 3 to 4 MOA in that 1:14 twist Barrel. I've bought some components to begin putting together some 50, 52, and 53 Grain stuff which should do much better in the long run.

Awesome that you got it running well.

I shoot the 50gr choice ammo vmax’s out of a BCA 24” barrel 1/14 twist. Never shot a group cuz theyre kind of expensive but when i zero’d at 100 yards i center punched the bullseye and went hunting😂 I killed a coyote at 380, held about 8 inches above where i wanted impact, and hit my intended location, center right between the eyes. Ive shot about 20 coyotes now from 40 yards to 380 being the farthet and ive yet to not hit where i intend too. Just shot 4 last sunday, two were on the run 100 and 120 yards, gave them a “coyote and a half” lead and pinwheeled them both. Very impressed with the accuracy and velocity of this set up.

what kind of groups have you been seeing with different rounds?
