STAG-10 In the Wild!

Hmmm that's weird that the first ten rounds after were doing that? What ammo were you using for this? I don't know what to say either? Glad the last 15 went without a hiccup. Maybe try another 100 rnds and let us know?

Yeah, I wanna get back to the range as soon as possible and put a bunch more rounds through it.

Ammunition used was the same Federal Lake City 149 grain as last time.

Magazines were the XCR-M pistol mags and the Magpul 5/10 that the rifle came with.

I’m thinking that your Lake City, which I’m assuming is 7.62, was causing it to short stroke. These guns are set up for the hotter 308. I’m thinking that as your rifle breaks in, your 7.62 will cycle fine. My guess anyways.

i would totally agree with your statement-

What would be a good factory ammo for this rifle that can be purchased in larger quantities (500 or 1000?)

I've never shot a new semi auto rifle that I didn't ninja around in my basement with by cycling it a few hundred times first. Don't you guys do that?

[SigWig]

I ended up dimpling the barrel for the gas block, first time I’ve ever done it but loads of YouTube videos out there

same here. Just need some rocksett. Any Chance I'll find it local? Autoparts store?

Yup I agree! Kaiga, you can try the Hirtenberger surplus ammo. It comes in 240 end packs, not the most accurate stuff, depends on your rifle but it cycled in both rifles here just fine. Worth a shot.

I've found Federal's power shok (blue box) 150gr runs flawlessly and accurately in my other semi auto rifles so will probably go that route for the bulk of my shooting if i build in .308
I've bought case lots of 500 in 150 and 180gr from reliable gun a couple years ago and it was quite reasonable considering it is hunting ammunition.
