[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 2215453, member: 105681"] One thing you might be careful about is using slow burning powders as the pressure curve might be too long for a semi auto and cause issues with the gas system. Also hot handloads could damage the mechanism and give you some feeding issues. Typically those rifles like loads in the 90% max range. My buddy has a 30-06 and it won't cycle rounds from the magazine with really hot loads. Jams up every time. Back it down to 2750 fps with a 150 grain bullet and it runs fine. Accuracy is hunting adequate. 1.5" to 2" inch groups at 100 yds. Its a 400 yd rifle max. Yours may do better. [/QUOTE]
