Well it appears I’m good to go. Only ammo I shot was factory 143 ELDX’s. Not a lot of precision to my results and the range was packed with loud boomers so I pulled a few. Function was perfect as far as cycling and feeding. Now it’s time to work up some handloads. I’m also gonna sell the 2.5-8x36 and go a different direction with glass.

10 shots at 100 yards with a little cooling between sets, barrel was really hot even with some cooling.
