I got some Magtech 77 OTM recently and it feels and shoots differently than earlier versions. Lot CBC 036/16. The powder is listed as EI-Niesen 110. It chrono'd 2426 from my DD 10.75" w/suppressor as compared to IMI which was 2391. The Magtech was noticeably softer recoiling, though, and failed to lock back on empty. This gun reliably runs Wolf Gold, and any other 5.56 ammo I've tried. Accuracy, at about 1.75" 10rd groups @ 100yds was not as good as IMI or previous Magtech 77.
It's interesting how it feels so soft and cycles slow, yet has higher velocity. I plan to test this in other guns and longer barrels. I'm interested in others' experience shooting this ammo/powder.
