Just a quick update. I got my gun back from Springfield 22 days after I sent it off. They reamed and polished the chamber and changed the BCG. It now ejects unfired cartridges with no trouble. The Romeo 5 went back on and just about held the same zero. (The Magpul backup sights didn’t.) The Barnes factory VOR-TX are chronographing the same as before. My Nosler 125 Ballistic Tip handloads and Sierra 110 Varminteer handloads now show the same average velocities but with wider extreme spreads, which may just be batch reloading variations. I picked up some Sellier and Bellot 124 grain “Tactical” FMJ on sale, and it shoots almost to the same POI at 100 as the Barnes VOR-TX.
All in all, I am pleased with the warranty work by Springfield Armory, and the gun already is getting a lot of UTV and hiking carry. I really like the D&H 10 round 300 BO magazines for general woods bumming.
