On the lead sled at 100 yards I got a just over 1 inch group with the ELTM 123s and touching holes with the Fusion 120 grain while cooling for a while between shots. Also for hunting I won?t need to adjust for either of these rounds but obviously I will start with the Fusions. I did encounter the first issue tonight though. I stove piped a Hornady round for the first time. I don?t really know why or what caused it but I?ve been loading between two and five rounds into the mag with no problems until then. Should I be concerned?
Yes.
Somewhat.
For me it was the ruining expensive ammo that was concerning. I had cut too much off the ejector spring in order to keep dent's off the brass.
After putting in a new ejector spring I followed forum members advise and use a piece of Velcro on the deflector and no more stove pipes or deep brass dents.
Using a good lube and plenty of it may fix it. Another forum tip was to use synthetic motor oil on/in the bolt and that seems to let my BCA rifle to shoot longer without problems from carbon fouling retarding the bolt.
Sound like your BCA is a winner! Post some pics of those great results!
