Let me add this to the mix.
Sometimes AR-15 makers use M-16 feed ramps. The Grendel uses an M-4 feed ramp. Yes, it makes a difference and what you describe indicates that the feed ramp in your blaster may be for an M-16.
By all means, check the magazine latch to make sure it is tight.
Good luck screwing around with magazines. Better bet is to buy a different brand and see if it works.
IF your ammo fits in the magazine with a little space between the tip and front of the magazine, AND it feeds and extracts without problems, most likely your ammo is the right length for function.
Good possibility the Hornady ammo has a different POI than the other ammo you used so having the Hornady stuff group in a different location probably isn't an issue.
Buying a new rest will not solve your problem.
If it was made by a reputable company, you ought to call them and get their advice too.
If it was bodged together by someone in their basement using parts made by unknown companies, then you got your work cut out for you.
