Does anyone have any experience with them? I'm not sure if my rifle just can't run with teir ammo, or if it was just dirty, but I've had quite a few problems with their ammo in my rifle.

I've ran American Eagle 55 fmjs with no problem at all, but this stuff, either it's underpowered, which I'm thinking it is. I've had the bolt close on an empty mag, double feeds, and mostly failure to feeds, since the bolt doesnt close all the way.

Maybe my rifle needs lubed, since I've never really lubed it, but it never used to run like this before. Maybe my gas block isn;t lined up, but when it was assmebled, it was tested.

My guess is either the Ammo or the Rifle not liking to be ran dry.

Here is a decent thread on them

I'm starting to think it was lack of lube on my rifle, and not being well cleaned in a long time, so I'll get it all clean and lubed up and see what happens. I'm hoping that was the problem.

IMHO, clean your rifle after every use. It'll run smoother and you will be happier for it.

Yeah, I was definitely lacking, so its due for a good scrub down and oiling.

FM ran like a raped ape in my glocks and 1911. 9mm, .40, and .45ACP. I had zero problems.
