[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2396714, member: 78163"] A few other comments. For sure the clock method is best to determine for your current rifle setup when it is gassed properly. But for gun changes don't think adjustable gas block is the only option, although one I have on a few guns. Different weight bolt carriers, bolt carrier weights, different buffer springs, etc. I think one challenge you have is you are trying to determine both if the load is a good one and in parallel how it matches the guns gassing. Highly recommend you find someone with a chrono to check velocity as an indicator of how close to max load is, I find that more challenging on gas guns than bolt guns. But if handloads act like factory, that is an indicator it may not be your ammo. Lastly a point I have not seen others mention is that for me lot to lot variation of Varget is more than any other powder I have ever used (not hundreds but well over 10 different rifle powders). Due to this I find it the least well suited to copy paste of other peoples load data. Good luck, hopefully someones input is helpful to you. YMMV JB [/QUOTE]
