    8" BA Performance 1x7
    1/3 Geissele MRO Mount
    Trijicon MRO

    I will never intend to shoot any target beyond 100 yards. Everything will be show between 35-100 yards. With my red dot/mount combo the sight height is measured at 3.07". I just want a zero to reliably hit body mass between 35-100 yards without having to guess holdover.

    My ammo's ballistic specs are 854fps, .416 coefficient.
    What do you mean you cant get a good zero? All I can imagine is that you dont see the groups you want to at some distance you are trying to zero at. Confirm and let us know what distance. Have you tried other ammo?

    Anyone else experiencing this with S&B?

    Pics of malfunction? I would not assume its jamming because its dirty... maybe there is something else going on. Perhaps short stroking.

    I don’t think so but never know. It’s never done this before. I’ll be able to shoot Sunday and will try different rounds. Both sub and 110’s. Will report what happens.

    I spoke with Noveske and they offered the following:
    - Run the gun almost dry. Not dry of course but not soaking either.
    - Try different ammo in the same mags and see if it does the same thing
    - Ammo list provided that they use often and do not have issues with - those were S&B 220's/Hornady 190's/Barnes 110's (which I already use for deer hunting).
    - Try a heavier buffer if these fail - they said they at times have to run H3's at times. All trial and error as the 300 blackout is finicky.

    When i was at my LGS i picked up a magpul 300 blackout mag just to try. I also picked up some federal subsonics that were not on their list.

    All ammo above failed to function just as the S&B's did with the pmags I have been using. The Barnes functioned fine but it's the only super i was shooting.

    I ran a test with the magpul 300 blackout mag and the S&B's ran flawless. Then the rest of the ammo ran flawless too.

    The conclusion is the 5.56 pmags are most likely the culprit. I guess I'll run with the 300 blackout mags with this one while shooting subs.

    Here is a pic of the malfunction with the 5.56 pmags.

    I have ran subs and supers while suppressed during competition.
    I had a double feed problems with all mags until I switched to 300BO mags.

    There is something wrong. I would send it back to Noveske. I have never had an issue with any of my mags and 300 blk.

    The rifle has an extractor or/and an ejector issue.
    The number of folks on my Full Of Shit list grows everyday
