I have yet to see a really good-looking piston-operated AR-10. (Maybe PWS is the exception)
The POF Revolution is probably the best-looking of them all, since it’s an AR-15 chambered in .308 Win.
The Hk417 and all the rest of the op-rod/piston guns just look like dog crap.
Handguard ends up being way too bulky even with slick MLOK, receivers are too big/bulky, weight is all out-of-balance, just ungainly weapons all-around because of the cartridge.
The original Dutch ArmaLites are a joy to handle and shoot in contrast.
The modern SR-25s and AR-10s from reputable companies have mostly been aesthetically-pleasing.
6mm Creed AR10 Feeding

I remember when .260 was the thing in the 2000s and everyone told me I wouldn’t be able to get Berger VLDs to feed in a gasser.
This was before the Hybrid ogive VLD even existed, so we had really secant Berger VLDs.
I figured I was a special snowflake and decided to try them out anyway, the 130gr VLD in my GAP-built .260 Rem gasser with Bartlein pipe, using original Magpul 7.62x51 PMAGs.
It fed them just fine, and shoots them into tiny groups even at 1k. Probably one of the only times rolling the dice on special snowflake worked out for me in life.
But most everyone else had the opposite experience looking like the OP with 6mm secant HPBT. Meplats would catch just below the feed cone in the barrel.
