147gr safe to shoot?

Don, I meant after each empty magazine. I understand the 147 is the weight of the bullet, but every action has an equal and opposite reaction. 147 is heavier than 115 or 124 and thus has a harder push against the action and I just didn't know if it was safe at that weight. 50 rounds probably can't be used to measure a fix on most guns but considering mine wouldn't hold open 30% of the time or more, and this did it every time with the 147gr bullet , I'm inclined to think it's my mainsoring?

rick, I wouldn't even know how to judge what's too much and too little with that method! it's a great idea though

Mrrerick, the only odd thing I notice is that the hold open sits high with an empty magazine in it. the well is clean. I have a these open about it on another thread. is the hold open spring something that can be replaced or does the whole numbered part habe to be changed out?

chickentheif, thanks! so basically about NATO rounds and anything heavier than 124gr?
