I mean, not to get technical about it, but British 5.56x45 isn't the same as NATO\US SI 5.56. We need "better" rounds to cycle our our SA80's, as using say the Yank M193 ball to our L2A2 Ball. Otherwise, the pressure from the NATO\US rounds won't have enough gas pressure to make the gas parts of the SA80 function correctly, and the bolt won't be cycled correctly, so you'll have a lot more stoppages than often.
It's only really blanks and low pressure rounds (such as frangible and simunition) that cause problems cycling L85
