...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.

Best buy all 20 boxes immediately..one does not know how long these. Cartridges last..

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

I just picked up the Ruger American Gen II in 6 ARC, it shoots 85 gr TSX like a Dream, but it doesn't like to Feed the rounds. Once the rounds are in the Chamber, it's Lights out for whatever you are aiming at at 100 yards so far. Groups are 1/4 MOA, my best group was .110 the Bolts rakes the round with no issue, then as the round peels off the mag about half way the nose pitches up and jams against the top of the chamber. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

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.

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.
