[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2385806, member: 116181"] I think the leading cause of baffle strikes are crush washers on ARs, they're just flat not the correct part to use to install something that needs to be aligned, but people keep doing it. Followed by loosening while shooting, an unsquare shoulder or the threads being cut wrong, then any of the tolerance stacking assembly errors that comes from incorrectly using QDs, muzzle devices, or threaded parts of serviceable cans. All my bolt actions are either direct thread or the large shoulder TBAC 338 mount because it's simple and has fewer parts involved. Legitimate baffle strikes from stability should be rare. In his case it's low probability, but marginal setups bear a little more scrutiny. That's why I was testing down so slow, to see what happened and avoid an oops. I'm about to work up a subsonic 308 load for a 20" 10 twist, I'm starting with TB and 190 Sub-Xs. [/QUOTE]
