Hopper recommendations

I have a standard Bushmaster with the ICD 9200 board. I was wondering if my View loader now JT agitating hopper will keep up. It seems to me that I'm shooting faster than what the manual says I should be shooting. Used my brothers rotor and loved it but seems like overkill. What do you guys think?

Side note. I've also heard the Bob Long Defiant shares some common parts with the Bushmaster. True or False?

The defiant does share a few parts, however, not every part is compatible.

A rotor is probably overkill plus it'll probably push past the stock detents unless you reinforce them. You can find a vlocity much cheaper than a rotor & be just fine, especially if it has a select force chip. I've always really liked eggs but I'm probably in the extreme minority there.

I have an eggy 3 ive used for some time and its worked great for me.

Something else to consider would be a vl eyeforce. A bit bulky but a pretty decent feed rate & you shouldn't have to worry about it pushing past the detents.

Buy a halo too used. The material of the shell is no longer crappy plastic that cracks. It's good stuff.

or a pinocchio. They're solid hoppers. I still have the original once and it's working great.
