most of my suppressed AR rifles are only open 1 to 2 full turns, so that would be reducing the gas port size down to 25-50%--I run suppressed on 3 different lengths of 223, 3 lengths of 6.8, and a pistol 300bo and 16" 308w--I have sub loads for both the 308 and 300bo--the only one I dont run an adjustable GB on is the 10.5" 300bo with pistol gas--all the others require an adj gas block to get the gas pressure just right---it also depends on who manufactured the barrel and if they know what the proper size gas port is or just do a "quick and dirty- larger than needed" so it cycles on anyone's gun-- lots of guys run super heavy buffers, this is a band-aid to just getting the right amount of gas
