Talking to a friend who's looking to put 40 grain V-max or similar (Sig Sauer/Winchester/Fiocchi) polymer tipped .223 varmint rounds in her XCR-L 5.56 (16" bbl) for home defense.
Before she spends the $26-50 a box (20-50 rounds), does anyone run these in their XCR-L and do they feed okay? I've had issues with softpoints in my .308 XCR-M (first gen). I know my newer model M runs them more reliably, but still has occasional failures to feed with SP ammo. Just wondering if the L's suffer from the same issue and I've only shot HP and FMJ through mine, so I don't have any data points.
I just don't want her to spend the money on the varmint rounds if they aren't going to be reliable.
