Re: pushed in bullet

Hmm. I notice you have the EA rate reducer on. Could that be slowing the cycling too much for the milder AE rounds? Just a thought. :)
Has anyone experienced this with the factory rate reducer with AE rounds? (I still haven't had a chance to get out shooting them with mine :facepalm: ).
