[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2496369, member: 92702"] Just throwing this out since i don't have a 6.5. All my stuff is on the 6.8 case or the .556 case. It almost works. It works with 5 rounds or less. It works for a couple of rounds with a full mag. Issue is round feeds but bolt won't fully close with 3/4 of a magazine. One would logically conclude that due to the way the rounds are sitting in the mag when 3/4 full it takes all the energy available plus a little for the bolt to fully go into battery. So we either need more energy in the bolt or the rounds need to release easier from the mag when 3/4 full. I no longer think we need more bolt speed, we need more energy. Heavier buffer? Or adjust the mag so the rounds release easier when 3/4 full. Either of these make sense to me. Intermittent issues are always the most difficult to solve with anything mechanical, usually intermittent is an electrical problem!! [/QUOTE]
