I didn't get to really test the accuracy. The range by the cabin didn't have any of the target post left and I left my 10rnd mag at home. I don't think I would go anything over 44.5 with the LC brass. Next time I'm going to also remember my chrono. I'll let you know what I find out.
I ran into the same issue with some of my reloads. I also believe it was due to OCL. I was loading 168 bullets with imr4064 at 44grs. I think it was catching the pmag. It was only happening with one of my 50rnd lots when the mag was completely loaded. I when through 250rnds that day and...

Just got my M&P10 and put 15 inch hand-guards on last night. Anyone else have a hard time getting the gas tube notch to line up? Meaning if I backed it off to the notch before I was barely at 20 foot-pounds. I had to constantly loosen and torque it again to get it to line up. I was worried...
