Switch to a heavier ammo and Id bet you dollars to donuts that solves your problems. Your rifle is MP tested and designed to be used with NATO pressure 5.56x45 ammo. I highly doubt thats what you were shooting if it was 40 gr frangible. 223 rem and NATO 5.56 have very little difference with regards to the actual dimensions of the round, but they are two totally different animals when you look at their pressures. Change that ammo to something heavier and for gods sake dont run the frangible stuff through a suppressor. Also I dont know what ammo you have tested with regards to that rifle or what means you use to measure your groups. With that said you should try alot of different ammo in different weights to see what your rifle shoots best. The twist rate of all Noveske barrels are 1-7. It would be best for your rifle if you would shoot a heavier weight of ammo in between 55 and 77 grains at NATO pressure. Try these things and if it doesnt solve it let me know the specifics and Ill try to help you more. The KX3 is just a band aid for your gun malfunctioning and I would encourage you to find the base problem without it. Aaron
TR thanks for the defense.

Some great info here. I never knew the risks of using frangible ammuntion through a suppressor before. I use a suppressor fairly often from Jet Suppressors, Although I've never used frangibles I appreciate knowing the risks in case, thanks. And btw, no hard feelings about earlier, I'm an asshole, but not a persistant one, lol.
