...my advice is you best invest in a couple of hundred casings as soon as you can....you hainwalking in many stores and picking up a box.
My Scheel's always has at least 20 boxes of each of the four Hornady offerings. I do not have a feed problem but then again I do not use the magazine. I installed a single shot adapter in my Gen 2 6 arc and it is pretty smooth. I have not bought or tried the 105 grain but the 103 grain ELDX is the best shooter out of my gun.

Thanks, I have a gas gun in 6 arc and have 200 star line cases. Loaded 105 grain Barnes matchburners with cfe223. Lots of fun! Want a bolt gun to really see what the round can do
. Probably going to buy more brass based on your suggestion
Well, after experimenting with many different profiles of similar weights, the throat on these are cut for longer profiled bullets, going from a Barnes 85gr TSX to a 90gr Hornady CX bullet and OAL of 2.102 to 2.290 fixed the feeding issues, now I just need to range and dial her in again.

hope the cx shoots good. its not known for accuracy. do you need to stay all copper?
I want Deep Penetration on Hogs, For Quick Clean Kills, and found the CX to have the Deepest Ogive that solved the feeding issue. If there is another Bullet along the same Profile, I didn't find it on my shelf at my store. I am open to suggestions though, I am shooting it suppressed and only need to be able to shoot about 60 yards through the woods.
