They can be fickle, and you need a little more throat. Hornady 75's or Berger 80.5's are the winning ticket in your combo.

The Hornady 75 ELD-M’s work great also. We shoot them out to 1000 yards as well. Out of a 20” 1/7 tube they are supersonic to 1000 at Sea Level….. sometimes (depending on atmospheric conditions).
Since these came on the market, I have wondered if one could be considered an “equivalent” rifle in AR-Tactical competition (NRA and/or CMP) for someone who resides in an area that prohibits AR15 possession/ownership.
Not sure how I would ultimately feel about one in competition, but the thought had crossed my mind. I do like the idea of more folks shooting.
It does seem it should be more accurate than a gas gun as it would be truly free floating with no gas block/tube hanging off of it.
Could go with a substantially thicker barrel or what ever the nut will
allow. And yes there are rules always to consider and people that will
probably complain ?? I did not get it to compete. I picked it up to have
a look, and have the grandson whack chucks with it. We are allowed in
Pa. to use a gas guns on varmints, but this seems a bit more appropriate.
Looks like it would be a Pa. legal deer rifle now ?? It would be very light
to carry around. Either way, it's all about options. With the 18 inch barrel
with a 5.56 Wylde chamber, it was at my door for under $250......I have two
Rock River lowers I can just drop it on. Maybe do a separate write up in a
week or so......
