[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2332958, member: 94491"] It's not a bolt gun. I have experienced what bfg has said--- when you handload for a gas gun you will probably need to tune the gas system. I don't like bleed off gas blocks or heavy buffers but I'm a huge believer in adjustable gas blocks in general. If you close off the gas you delay the start of the ejection process and may very well loose your pressure signs and quite possibly even gain a touch more velocity. The first question is always "where is your brass ejecting?"--- if you are throwing brass forward of 3 o'clock then try limiting the gas--- if you still have the pressure signs then you may be too high. The only real way to know is a pressure trace system. But pressure signs plus tuning of gas system componants is a valuable skill to learn in gas guns as different powders act differently with different length gas systems. [/QUOTE]
