I feel the same way with too much lube , excessive dirt injection causing similar failures. Due to this I was willing to run the gun at the range with only the lube from the factory. I just purchase 250rds of federal true ball 1600fps. Also have 15 boxes of that fiocchi I will shooting this weekend. Things I will be doing different this run, excessive lubrication on most moving parts, cleaned 7+1 tube (no lubrication in this tube), will be bringing 5+1 tube to test , I will use same original tube spring on both tubes. I will give an update on Saturday!
