I did remember to bring plenty of the usual PPU and I discovered a very weird thing. I had a .413" booster in, and the gun wasn't running too well. Stovepiping every ~3 rounds. I thought that it might be cycling a little slow, so I put in a tighter booster. The gun ran a bit better, 1 stoppage every ~7 rounds or so, so again I thought maybe it needs a bit tighter booster. Then I noticed I'd mixed up and put in a LESS restrictive booster, the .430" one. So it ran better on a booster with a bigger port. So I went up a step, to my most open booster, a .450" one. Again, the gun ran more reliably, but still not perfectly. So I removed the booster entirely and was getting it to 1 malfunction per belt on average.
No booster at all was the most reliable, the malfunctions were also always stovepipes, and those were happening MORE as the gun ran harder. This seems to indicate that the action is still running a bit too fast with NO booster.
I don't think it's the ammo, PPU is 3-ply soft load ammo. My firing pin spring is pretty stiff, and really detonates the primers properly, so I don't want to mess with that. The harder the firing pin spring, the slower the action should drive as it cocks on opening. Maybe the Ultrablue is TOO good and I should use a thicker grease to slow the gun down? Could my barrel return spring be way too light? Even then that particular spring probably doesn't do that much to slow the action down. I am confus pls halp.
