    Hey mate,

    I've been reloading subs for a wee while for my NEA15, nothing that cycle however.

    Robbie Tiffen had a chat to me about options for this and his recommendation was a new bolt with the most of/all of the lugs taken off (obviously for subsonic rounds only)

    I have been using trailboss with 80gr Hornady AMAX and with the Maximux on the end it's very quiet and fun to shoot.

    Have run into some issues with the long 80gr as the taper from the shoulder is far back so to seat and crimp securely the COAL is longer than can feed from an AR mag so 2 in a mag is the only way to do it untill I sort that too.

    Still searching for a solution to the cycling issue so if I sort something I'll post in here about it.

    Cheers,
    Dan.
