I have an R51 and I broke the magazine springs by only loading 5 at a time for the first 500 rounds. Haven’t had a failure in a very long time.

My preference has always been steel and walnut but I do have some aluminum in my safe. Happy to say no plastic except for some plastic stuff hanging off the aluminum.
Thought I'd update - Cabela's finally got the Berry's 124gr bullets in and I now have 500 of them. I have loaded 100 and shot about 95 of them - with only two smokestacks with 4.3gr AA#2 (+P load) - and I figure this is expected and normal for a new gun. When I have about 500 rounds through it I expect it will have settled in.
