If you read above, the managed recoil ammo does indeed cycle my 7mm-08 Browning BAR.
Taking this further, ..back to my .30-06. The fusion lite has a 170g bullet, while the remmington MR bullet is much much lighter. So I am hopeful the fusion lite ammo with the heavy bullet will cycle it.
we'll see when the ammo comes in. It's an experiment until I find the right ammo, for the right gun.
