[QUOTE="CourageousLIon, post: 2293636, member: 119557"] I think the spring is too weak. Probably the wrong one for the set up. I've found so many different springs with different ratings that it is ridiculous. I've found some carbine springs to be short, too strong for some loads so that it short cycled. Some were so weak that it acted over gassed. On and on. I'd check the spring. Try using one that has more coils, is slightly longer to give it more force. If it was headspace it would happen EVERY time. If the parts are milspec there should be no issue with headspace. And yes, I know 6.5 Grendell isn't exactly milspec on it's own. SPRING! [/QUOTE]
