I recently bought a Seekins SP10 in 6mm Creedmoor that I plan to use in PRS gas gun and other competitions. Naturally I'd like to use as aerodynamic of bullet as possible and I have an assortment to try and see what the gun likes. The good news is that so far it shoots everything pretty well. The bad is that it won't feed Berger 109s. The ogive is long enough that the meplat hits below the bottom of the chamber before the feed ramps kick the bullet up enough for it to run into the chamber like it normally would. The gun feeds 108 ELDMs with no issue but the ogive profile on those is quite different from the 109s. I presume I will have the same feeding issue with 110 SMKs and most of the 115 class bullets as well.
I have been using PMAGs. Would a different mag make a difference or is this a case of AR10s aren't designed to shoot super sleek 6mm bullets? Is there anything else that I can try within reason? The gun shoots the 108s just fine and they will work for what I need so I'm not up a creek but I would like to at least have the option to use some of these other bullets.
