I've had a .223 Stevens 200, ever since they first introduced them, several years ago.
Savage told you they wouldn't feed hollow-points? Bull!!!
I've shot more hollow points from mine over the years, than I have anything else, & never had a problem......UNLESS I was trying to hand load a single round into the chamber.
But that problem has occurred regardless of bullet type or brand of ammo.
If I actually put a single round into the magazine, then chamber it, it works fine every time.
