Hi all,
Have a question about the Mossberg MVP 5.56mm. Took it out for the first time earlier today, which was fantastic btw, shoots lights out up to 300yd (furthest I could test). First bolt I ever owned, there's definitely something to this non self loading thing.
I ran it with Wolf Gold brass which was trouble free. Shot some hard drives which produced neat little holes in the cases but not a fun level of destruction... Wanted to see if 62gr would be appreciably different. I tried some Lake City 62gr XM855 green tip I had, which I was led to understand is very close to milspec issued ammo. At least one of 10 rounds would end up as a light primer strike, I basically got at least one such thing in every mag, ran 4 mags, so not likely a fluke.
I had an AR with me, ran the ammo under question, no issues to report...
Is this normal? Does mil ammo need a harder push? Is this related to 223 vs 5.56 NATO chamber sizes, or is there potentially something else going on? Most importantly, is the expected or do I need to start talking to Mossberg?
