Bullet jump on 5.56x45 when slammed into battery

Have you checked to see what the actual bullet jump is from your bullet at load length to the touch point in your throat? In most AR chambers I've found that the jump to the lands is more generous than most think (depends on the bullet and profile). If you have a 50 thou jump to the lands, I wouldn't worry about the bullet moving a few thou when chambered .... unlikely that it would change accuracy that much.

If you can load at max mag length and get within 10-15 thou it might make a difference... but I haven't found too many chambers that have a short jump.

I would also pay attention to the number of firings on the brass and make sure you're not getting too much spring back (or the neck tension you expect)

Absolutely. Those are great groups. Im curious what cadence are you firing at? Quicker than you could with a bolt gun or are you taking your time? Either way, excellent shooting.
I'm naturally impatient with a gas gun (a personal problem, I know), so it's probably the same cadence as a bolt gun. Most of the time, it involves shooting and then going through the fundamental checklist, then shooting again. In my experience, unlike a bolt gun, where you can engage the bolt after breaking the shot, on the SR25, you need to wait through the unlock process before shooting again.

I’m admittedly a Kac fanboy. They’ve paved the way for tons of enhancements to the stoner platform. Their rifles always perform like i expect and their customer service is second to none. Something about a large frame Kac just gets me. And oh yeah I own plenty of bolt guns they just don’t do it for me like gassers do.

Electronic level

Do you like the ocular options seen on the market today? Referring to using fiber optics to have the led’s shown on the eyepiece….

This brings me to my next question mounting options and calibration methods. What do you all prefer.

This thing can be super “dumb” or have the ability to calibrate based on mounting position and app control.

On/off switch type? Button or slide switch?
I prefer it off to the side.
I like horizontal orientation.
I've been running mostly ARC M-brace so something to mount to that would be stellar.

Most people use a pic mount which I think the level should be on the scope or the mount that way if you need to swap/ move scopes it takes away any need to check reticle plumb.

For me personally if it's "dumb" (no calibration) and only runs in the horizontal orientation works perfect for me.

the switch I'm indifferent.

I have no want or need for an LCD on it.
