Tried a slower bolt travel, a faster one, various "start" points on the adapter itself (fore/aft)..doesn't seem to make a difference.
As for the loads~I worked-up some 25gr. loads, a pretty wide selection actually. (data is at home, I'm not) Barely held 1" @ 100 yards. 20gr shot best from my factory ammo too, so I focussed on that for the hand loads. No disappointment so far, but I also don't have coyote plans for this rifle.

The issue with the single shot feed is most likely a real easy fix. If you lived nearby I would get you to bring it over to be adjusted. I use them in 22 Hornet, 17 FB, 204 and 223 and all feed perfect after a little minor fitting.
