UPDATE:

OK, I REMOVED THE HOLDOPEN, TOOK THE CRITTER INTO THE BACK YARD AND TESTED IT.

OF 7 ROUNDS OF WINCHESTER 115 TARGET/RANGE, I GOT ONE FAILURE TO FEED {BOLT RIDEOVER, FULL BOLT CLOSURE, EMPTY CHAMBER}.

WITH 115 S&B, I QUIT AFTER 4 ROUNDS. GOT THE SAME-OLD SAME-OLD; BULLET STICKING OUT THE TOP, FAILURE TO FEED, ETC.

SO THE HOLDOPEN DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE PROBLEM. S&B AMMO DOES SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM, AND MAG SPRING MAY BE AN ISSUE ALSO.

DOES THIS SOUND CORRECT???

I'M THINKING I'M GONNA TRY SOME STANDARD PRESSURE 147'S FOR SOME INCREASED RECOIL IMPULSE, AND/OR +P 124'S...
