Noticing some over pressure issues with a 16 inch chrome lined barrel and a sandman s and slashes xh heavy buffer and spring. With average temps with a lot of 200 rounds of prime and 200 rounds of fgmm I blew 2 primers per lot (not super worried its hot ammo and summer time) Fast forward to a super hot day in august with some bullets first m118lr in 100 rounds I blew somewhere between 10-15 primers slam out. Now that is not a top tier ammo manufacturer and it was hot I have not been back to the stretch this thing out since but still thinking back to the 4 blown primers with the prime and fgmm id still like to tame it a little bit and get it to the more reliable side given thats what sold me on an mws.
I have a couple of options here Im waiting on a sandman k as well which I assume will be slightly less pressure than the s though when I shot it with my ffl before the before swap in lower light it was spitting a pretty noticeable flame which id like to avoid. Or I can try a BRT eztune gas tube when they become available again or perhaps increase buffer weight further with some tungsten weights. Id prefer to stick to these options vs bolts and gas blocks with moveable parts.
what do you guys think?
