I would definitely contact Bushmaster first and see if they will hook you up with parts before you buy. I have a Predator and have had zero issues with any and all types of ammo, so unless you just got a bad batch of ammo, I don't think that's the problem. As was recommended, I would check the pin channel and then spring. Don't give up on it... mine shoots sub .5 MOA with 55 gr Sierra HP's loaded hot. I love it.

My order of 147's (6k) took over 3 months to receive. As has been said, the quality was not what it has been in the past. Casting looked rough on most, and the coating looked uneven. For the price, still great bullets though.

Interestingly enough, the vast majority of my non-A hits were on the transition from T3 back to T1. I would pass the A-zone and shoot an inch or two left of it. Guess I know what I need to work on while waiting for part 2... putting on the brakes!

I feel like SSP has the greater number of new shooters, so it's easier to be "competitive" right off the bat. But providing you have the necessary holster/mag holder for each gun, try them all. Most club matches around here will let you shoot a second gun for a few extra bucks. That way you can see what works for you.
