Finally blooded my Noveske 300 ... after missing a 240# boar in low light and getting skunked on another couple of hunts, I just stumbled across this 100 yard coyote while fixing watergaps.

110 grain Hornady V-Max over 19 grains H110 ... which has been a disappointing load in terms of feeding reliability until switching to GI magazines. Performance was right on par with a 30-30, with more rapid expansion.

You guys have a large yote problem in your area? It seems they raise cain in some places.

We have quite a few; I am in west Texas ... they are a problem during calving season. Hogs are a much bigger problem.

What mags were you running before?

Sorry for the late reply; P-Mags. I am not sure that this isn't a problem that fixes itself over time ... as feeding issues with P-Mags seem to have gone away.

I've broken several feed lips on Gen 1 PMAGs, which obviously made it difficult to feed. Other than that, I haven't had any feeding issues with PMAGs. Were you using the exact same configuration when the feeding issues somehow resolved itself?

Same mags, yes. I only have about 300-400 rounds this this rifle. I hesitate to blame feeding problems on any one thing for a while.
