[QUOTE="longrangehunterII, post: 1439189, member: 61185"] The gun will either like the bullet/powder combination and seating depth or not. So get down to basic load developing work and start with finding the lands with each different bullet and start .010"-.015" off and work up to the expected velocity. Every .223/5.56 I've had to deal with all liked a different combination of bullet, and powder. My bolt Mil-Spec .223 likes VarGet in Lapua brass w/the 73 gr. Burger BTHP, my two gas guns, the MK12 likes RL15, and the 77 gr. SMK, the M4 H335 and the 77 SMK, another gas gun I know longer own liked the 69 SMK, and VV N133, etc. You'll need to just try the usual known bullet/powder combos and see what works I'd say. Sometimes things take time, and a little work to come together. Guns can be Finicky...... [/QUOTE]
