Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Wisdom sought: balancing buffer weight and gas flow

Ought to be fine for the intended use & SFP will be too..............have not seen that scope though.

What fodder are you feeding?

MM

Have a couple and had the one that's going here,on a S/S 70 375 H&H,but am going to loan it to a couple pards for couple different Bear Hunts. One drew Unimak,the other Kodiak...so will throw a 1-6x HD MQ Lit Bitch aboard,so nobody has to do any "thinking". Hint.(grin)







Shooting "MK12-ish" Fodder for Klone Klown Tears. 75 Hornie HPBT(no cann-o lure),Lever' and 2825fps in a 18". Nice place to be,in all weathers. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............

The parcels play nice together. Hint..............

That's more velocity than any factory BH MK12, as it's normally around 2750'ish & that's what I get with the powders I use most of, VV-N540, 8208 & AR-Comp...............but I'm working off a large supply & will need to get some powder soon, so I think I will get some Lever if I can find it. Couple of pards like it & you've been pounding that drum for awhile too & that velocity is better than anything else I've seen.

Lots of people seem to get mixed results with 75 Horns, but they've been fine in more than a few guns for me & the price is right..............I have loaded more of them then any other single boolit & still have a couple in reserve.

Scope looks OK & made in Nippon land is far more likely to be good than most of the Chink land stuff or even the Fillipino stuff. Besides, Brownells will stand behind it.

In the grand scheme,as per Hogdgon's most recent burn rate chart,Lever' falls as #118(higher the number,the slower burning). 8208 is #92,AR-Comp is #93 and VV-N540 is #114. Lever' is a Ball propellant,meters exceptionally and is my first/last pitch in 223,223AI,224 Grendel,22BR,224Wby,6x45,243 Grendel,6BR and 264 Grendel. Hint.

I shoot the Hornie .224" 75 BTHP by the Jazillions and they are utterly reliable,both in flight characteristics and Terminal Effects. That from 223 to 22-250AI/Speedmire. Hint.

The 1-6x Brownie MPO Donut isn't going to be for everyone and I'd certainly prefer a lineal scale MQ-ish reticle,even in SFP. Thus far and only a couple rifles deep into said glass(223 to 375H&H),zero's stay put,they track and repeat. I'm assuredly asking them to do things outside their design scope,but they are holding tight. Pun be intended. Hint.

Lever' is a GIVEN,while many things about glass are subjective. Re-hint!................(grin)

Normally a UTG Pro.
My LGS keeps them in stock.
Comes with a stock, buffer, buffer tube and spring.
Horribly, terribly, consistently, mind numbingly uncomplicated.
Install and use!

I try to not clutter my mind with inane junk.
Life is too short.
Live simply. 😉👍

IF a gas port is correctly sized AND, you don’t run suppressors, your gas tube length isn’t too short vs barrel length vs dwell, and you aren’t running larger frames or calibers….you’ll probably never ‘need’ a different buffer and/or AGB. However, an AGB can certainly cure over gassing/bolt bounce for all conditions/load ranges/suppressor uses, better than just a buffer. While adding moving mass can be a good thing, adding that same resistance has potential to cause its own issues in adverse conditions or with other variables. I’ll use AGBs and varying buffers as required, but not as a rule.

UTG Pro??????????

Oh, my, my, my.

Guessin' you might wanna take a look at BCA & Radical Firearms wares as well.

Laughin' here.

MM

They don’t know what they don’t know but still they give advice. Amazing ain’t it?

It's worse that that, even.
Most of what they do know, they don't understand.

And they want to be taken seriously, besides.

LOL Things have sure gone to he'll around here.

My last build, I was sitting on a stripped Anderson upper and lower and was shopping around for something besides a boring 5.56/.223 to build.
I checked on a site with a "SALES" section.
Spotted a BCA spiral fluted bull barrel in 5.56/.223!

Bullet stacking dude!
Only bull barrel I ever built!

P.S. - forgot to add, the bbl was on sale for $58 + shipping!

And the make believe & pretend goes on.......................I hear Radical has bolts on sale this week too.

LOL
