Re: How do I avoid leading my barrel?

You can find fishing weights that are about the right size and they are soft lead. That makes it easier to drive through the barrel.

Re: JP silent spring buffer reconfiguration

Very likely you would have to swap out several of the weights so unless you can buy those too you might want to rethink it.

Re: How do I avoid leading my barrel?

A BHN of 15 is slightly harder than the wheel weights and range scrap I have been getting by a point or three.

Re: How do I avoid leading my barrel?

I do want to say the one case I know of was a Ballistic Advantage barrel, not 100% on that but pretty sure. I believe it came down to how the chamber was cut and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Re: How do I avoid leading my barrel?

I've heard of that odd leading issue and I thought it was related to the barrel. Mine does not do it. On the off chance who made that barrel?

Re: Receiver Fitting

The $2.99 option https://www.midwayusa.com/product/100340833/utg-accurizing-wedge-ar-15 "Improves accuracy" :^) put two of them in! I hate those, when they get old they can crumble and get into the trigger. I've had a couple kicking around for something like a decade, I just checked them ...

Re: Newly formed brass fits gage...reloaded rounds do not

I use NOE's version of the M die and all you have to do is let the second step enter the case mouth just a bit. Unless you are seating cast bullets you really don't need the M die.

You don't say what headstamp the brass is. There is good and bad brass for conversion.
