In the 1200+ rounds I have put through mine I have noticed a little material eject only a few times, never enough to feel it burn my face. I have a feeling that ammo type will also play part in this, seemed to happen only with the federal stuff.

If there is one thing purchasing this little rifle has taught me is that with ammo (like so much in life), you get what you pay for. I won't be running any more federal rounds through it and I will only pack it for the field with good name, higher end shells.

I saw some talk on here about using Hyper velocity shells. The manual advises against them (as well as the standards), but I'm curious for more detrail in how people found they worked.

$20 to have the trigger weight dropped is very nice and a hell of an idea. If there is any complaint I have its the fact that I find the weight a touch high for a nice squeeze and I have to concentrate to avoid a pull (being such a light set-up).
