I carried my American in 300 Blackout around in the truck while bouncing around in “old Green” with Stony for a couple of months this summer. I had occasion to take hogs at 100 yards with the little rifle and love everything about it but the mag. With the shorter 125 gr bullets the OAL of the cartridge caused a nosedive for the first few rounds which resulted in double feeds or general havoc. With a 150 gr bullet seated at the suggested OAL the mag worked better, trying to single feed a 125 gr was an experience by itself athere is no feed ramp and an inch or so of space before entering the chamber.
Loading three 125 gr rounds usually fed ok but the whole issue left me a bit angry with Ruger engineering.
