It’s a proprietary gas system. The only real answer is the can.

Yeah, you're right. That didn't even click off in my head.

Unless this is going to be some sort of setup for gaming or you plant to shoot very few rounds between cleanings, I'd avoid going with any sort of lighter spring. As the rifle gets dirty you'll likely start having problems with the bolt not wanting to go all the way into battery during cycling or dropping the bolt on a fresh magazine.

Are you going to be running suppressed? If so, which can? If youre going to be running a higher back pressure can, all of the thought about how light you can go on the buffer will likely be wasted. In the event that you do need to go lighter than an A5H0, you can always replace some or all of the weights with aluminum.

There is no place on an AR15, other than when used for assembly, for grease. In fact, if you're going to be running more than 100 rounds between cleanings, using grease is likely accelerating wear. Lower viscosity lube works best in an AR because it flows and the cycling of the action allows the lube to displace crud as it builds up. Grease keeps the crud where it is and essentially becomes lapping compound as it mixes with hard particulates.

There is nothing complicated about lubing an AR and it doesn't take some special concoction that you have to mix at home to get it done. Find yourself a reputable synthetic lube, like Slip 2000. A drop or two on the charging handle, a drop or 3 on each of the rails of the bolt carrier, a drop on the cam pin shaft, a drop for the extractor and ejector and a couple drops in the vent holes for the rings. Wet the bolt lugs and you're done.

If your setup was running and stopped running when you added the suppressor, it's probably because you're way over gassed. What you're describing sounds like very excessive bolt carrier velocity. Instead of tearing your hair out with with buffers and springs, why don't you just install an adjustable gas block. Turn down the gas to increase the closed bolt lock time. This will result in less bolt velocity.

Either turn the gas down or go with a low back pressure can.

Honestly forgot to record data. Deleted the session from my Garmin.

This is a group from today with 24.7gn of Varget. Same specs/components as the 8208 load.

Have you had a chance to run this load out to a reasonable distance?

I had just deleted my post as you were responding, because I realized you were talking about video, not voice. Sorry about that.

Its simple if you think about it.

-The most powerful men in the world have been systematically abusing women and children.

-The most powerful men in the world are in charge of investigating that crime.

-The most powerful men in the world found themselves guilty and put themselves in prison.

Does something sound amiss about the above.

Last week I threw together a load for a 300m match at my local club. 26.3gn 2208/Varget with 69gn SMK. Absolutely dynamite! 3075fps from my 26” 1:7 twist, SD of 9.9fps. Conditions were near perfect. Zero wind. Results in picture attached.

Ran it this week at 500m, again a very impressive performance from the same load in 5-12mth winds.

it was only about 30- 45 minutes away, maybe less. but nothing is going through Kerrville and all highways were fully open and not damaged so it was complete bs
