Built a super light weight DPMS style AR10. This ammo runs perfectly. Been using it to fine tune the gas system. Works great. Not shooting for accuracy yet.

I ran these through my brand new rifle. And it did not cycle. I thought maybe it just needed a break in period but I ran a different ammo and it cycled. Just fine, my buddy put this ammo. Through his rifle and same thing, it would not cycle consistently. Not accurate at all. Just to all around garbage
