Good report cgff. I had issues initially with HST feeding but after the breakin and polishing the ramp & chamber mouth it fed like everything else - perfect. You might want to rub grease into lube point 6 and a tad into the ramp and chamber mouth. I do that with every cleaning, and rub it in not just smear it on. I use TW25 which claims to have molecular bb's that fit into pores of metal. So I says, what the heck and rub it pretty hard and haven't been disappointed.

The hornady nose dive sort of concerns me. where I will not carry it till I can test some more
Ill just resort to my old style of carry for now
I tend to load first round in mag with a JHP or such and usually follow up with
heaviest round for caliber so I will start to carry with speer gdhp
and then some 147 Hard ball

I will also try that with some tw25 if I can find some locally till I put an order in with midway

Take a look at this thread. It might be just a matter of a tiny little squeeze in a padded vise to get those mags to spit out like eggs through a hen.

Seems to be several who have done this successfully with good results.
