I have a reamer and have a couple barrels, does anyone have any thoughts on port diameter and length of gas system? Looking to be able to shoot the 300 SMK at subsonic as well as the 180 BST supersonic using the same system. I need to run it all through Quikload and look at the pressure curve, that may be my best indicator but it never hurts to ask and see if anyone has already been down this road. I am not opposed to going with an adjustable gas block, but would prefer to go without so I do not have to "dial in" the correct pressure every time I switch loads.
