I bought my Victory in the summer of 2016. I have shot Federal Auto Match, Federal Champion, Fiocchi and CCI mini mags without any issues. I recently installed a Volquartsen extractor just for giggles and I have a Volquartsen carbon fiber barrel with forward blow comp on the way. Sorry to hear those of you having issues. I wouldn't trade mine for the world. Awesome modular platform. I have a Vortex Venom optic on it and will be putting it through it's paces at Steel Challenge this year.
