Quoted:
biggest problem i have is finding the federal 550 bulk packs at wal-mart.  what kit do you have? also, why do people prefer the federal over the remington? my walmart has the remington for $16 per 550, but they hardly ever have federal. one more question. would it be a good idea to run a hotter load like CCI's through the gun to break it in, almost like you have to with a semi-auto shotgun? |

| I have a spike's kit. Only have like 10 rounds through it, I was having feeding issues. Turns out my bolt was stick and not functioning properly or something, sent it to them, got it back today, so hoepfully sometime soon ill get out to try it out. Looks like its working good, they obviously put a lot of rounds through it, I cleaned it before I left and its dirty, so I can't wait to give it another shot! |

Sig does recommend using hotter loads. Makes sense to me. The gun was designed for a much higher caliber, and the barrel is massive. |

I have a Ceiner and it likes round nose ammo best. Pointy stuff. like some of the Blazer and Fed ammo chokes it up. It also does not care for Aguila SSS, though some other people have good luck with it.
The biggest bitch about it is that loading the mags takes way too long and is nowhere near as fun as unloading them. |
