Yes, with the correct powder the ML gas will run just fine and Reloader #7 is the powder of choice and you don't give up much in velocity to H110, but I prefer every fps I can get. Midlength gas systems were brought onto the market to satisfy the clamor of people who did not have a clue what they were asking for, thinking that if ML is good for 5.56 it must be good for the. Midlength gas will work but is more finicky about powder selection and the powder that gives the highest velocities, usually H110, does not work worth a hoot with midlength gas systems. The SOCOM is designed from the ground up to work with standard springs and buffers, both rifle and CAR length, and it is designed to run best with CAR length gas.
