I have invested in 3 different commercial Match Ammo loads for my next round of Test-firing in order to obtain definitive accuracy results (limited, of course, by my ability).
While I too would prefer a flat-stowed, Folding Charging Handle it must be recognized that this will introduce additional cost, complexity, and a potential failure Point to the design where none currently exists. Personally I an content with the fixed CH design. It provides positive purchase in a reasonably low-profile package.
