I'm curious to know if anyone has any experience when it comes to different weigh buffers and how they may affect your LONG RANGE accuracy and precision.
I've been running a 14.5 in some fairly long distance matches these past couple years and just recently acquired my suppressor.
I learned today, apperantly I've been running a Carbine H buffer (3 steel) in it while unsupressed for a long while. I thought it was an H1 with 1 tungsten 2 steel (buffer isn't marked). That buffer was in front of a regular Aero precision spring. I noticed my brass was getting kicked out at 1 o'clock pretty far away after running suppressed. So I decided best to make a change.
I just installed a Super 42 spring, with a buffer that has 2 tungsten 1 steel (H2). The spring itself is has a decent amount more resistance compared to the regular Aero spring, as expected. Adding the H2 it kicks my brass at 3 o'clock only a few feet away, which I believe is more favorable.
Now, since that's the back story... I'm curious to know if I should expect my current dope to change at range of 700yds and in. I'd have tested this two days ago, but when I noticed where my brass was landing I figured things were moving a little too fast.
