I had an adjustable gas block but I replaced it with a standard one. My problem is Factory ammo ( Hornady american 140 BTHP ) cycles fine. But when I make hand loads it will not cycle. I have even went over book max with several powders, AR COMP, H322, and H335.
Everything I've read says it should cycle with a standard buffer. Any suggestions would be helpful. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Is this a creedmoor? To the best of my knowledge there is no 140 grain factory grendel ammo.
