    Are you running a short action? I’m running into feed issues on my short action build at 2.95” . Trying to work a load for 140 ELD since I have a bunch left from my creedmoor.

    I’m a little below what the mag max is so I don’t have any feed issues. I could definitely go longer before the lands though.
