Opinion needed,
I have a dpms LR-260 and through alot of handloading efforts and new trigger i have managed to get it to be a 1/2 to 3/4 MOA rifle. Now that being said it is with a 140gr A-max. I want to shoot 120gr bullets in it but to do so i have to have the gas port opened up slightly as i have tried running 120's in the past and they will not function fully. I have taken it to two gunsmiths and even got in touch with DPMS and they told me nothing was wrong with the rifle but to run 120's i would need to open it up. My question is: is it worth it to go to this work to run the 120's for a little better trajectory or stick with the 140 and be happy. Just wanted some what would you do opinions. Thanks.
