[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 1090584, member: 70595"] My son bought a heavy buffer for me. It is a 10 ounce buffer from HeavyBuffers.com. I re-shot the upper rungs of the ladder again and the overall improvement is pretty exciting. The "recoil" of the rifle is now an easy push back and a forward bump when the bolt rotates and locks. At 42 grns of H4895 I was getting what I think were pressure signs on the brass when I shot the same ladder without the heavy buffer. With the heavy buffer I see no signs of flattened primers and no marks on the case head. I'm not sure why the 10oz buffer made that kind of a difference, but it did. The better part, buffer induced or not, is I shot 1 three round group at 200yds that was about the size of a nickel. The load is 42grn H4895 under a Nosler 168grn CC set off with a #34 primer in military brass. Wednesday my son Carl and I will go back to the range and verify the load again and chronograph the load so I can start filling in the info in the shooter app. In a couple weeks I will buy as many Nosler 165 BT and re-chronograph and set up the hunting side of this AR. It has been a pretty crappy couple of years for me and having something go so right and is so enjoyable to do is a nice change. I am really impressed with the DPMS GII line of rifles. When I become independently wealthy, I would have no problem buying another Hunter model in a different caliber. Once again, I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all the help and knowledge shared. JW Semper Fi [/QUOTE]
