What kind of groups are you owners getting? What ammo (factory only, don't reload for it)? What rifle? Looking at them for this deer season. Seems to be a shortage of ammo tho.
 
BCA upper 18" barrel AR-15 with Hornady 170gr Interlock SP. Shot at 100 yards, this was 3 of the first 20 down the barrel. I had to single load each one as this rifle was a single shot until I modified the barrel chamfer and feed ramps. 20200514_125806.jpg
 
I know it’s been a month but have any of you had trouble feeding? Dad picked up the Ruger Ranch version and got more stoppages than rounds chambered. I haven’t had a chance to look things over yet but new, cleaned prior to firing, factory mag (Duramag 5-round). Any tips appreciated before I tear into it.

For my part, I was zeroing my T/C with Hornady 170 SP Whitetail Hunter. Put 3 on paper at 25, moved to 50 yards, made a scope adjustment and fired 2 into an figure 8 at 2x. Even at that magnification the entire target dot was obscured by the crosshairs. My daughter then took 1 shot at 100 yards on a 6” orange spotter and drilled it nearly dead center.

Identical length with T/C stock collapsed.

I have a Ruger Ranch in 350 Legend. It was rough clambering at first, can't day I had stopages but certainly really needed to close the bolt with authority. I have 10 and 20 round dramas and had trouble with my first 20 rounder. Duramag replaced it and I chambered much smother. For me it seemed to be more mag than rifle but I didn't have stoppages per say.

Accuracy wasn't very good at first but after 50 rounds or so I am getting MOA out of the Hornady 170gr handle ads and 1.5 MOA with WWB 145 grain range ammo. With a suppressor and sub sonic this thing is a hoot to shoot.

I just received some Winchester super suppressed but haven't tested them yet.
 
I rid the bolt body of its chatter marks, polished things up carefully, and sanded the underside of the mag feed lips till they stopped cutting casings. A bit of grease, wicked fast trigger polish, and I think it’s good to go. @Stormin.40 I think you’re right on the magazine, he’s got two more on the way so if the current doesn’t work out...
 
Walmart has plenty where I am.
Stupid walmart doesn't realize that 350ldg is mostly used in AR15 pattern rifles.

I am not sure how stupid or smart like a fox Walmart is but this is a brand new CVA bolt gun in .350 Legend and there were two of them in the cabinet, fresh, new stock.

I would love to have this round in a Marlin 336 platform.
