1st time shoot; got \"maddog's\" problem...
took new SU16 out to range with 120 rounds of walmart 223 whitebox. did the clean routine... clean after every shot, every 3, every 5, every 10, etc... (from 25 yard bench; WOW what a great shot, the right-out-o-the-box accuracy is super!) anyway, when I got to the 'clean after every 10', I started to have FTE problems every 3 or 4 shots. not stuck shells like maddog had with the wolf ammo in his thread... I was able to pull the bolt back and eject the spent shell. but I had to drop the mag to put the now dislodged next shell back into it. (I like jam on toast; don't like guns that jam...)
other info... temp:76. no wind. no shade, full sun.
the barrel did get really hot. (Ouch!)
I only have the 2 factory mags... by the way, how do you keep them in the stock? the extra one fell out (fully loaded) while I was in the shoot 3 and clean part of the break it in right process...
I know I'm asking the right people.... so thanks in advance.
