Thanks good to know on the crimp. "A light crimp is ok on a non cannelured bullet." Glad because I have a some nosler partitions that I hoped to use. Appreciate the info guys!

Hey thanks a lot. Great idea with the expander. I'm using an rcbs die. Have had trouble with shoulder crush with other calibers expecially wth my 6mm rem. but it has naturally soft shoulders. But with time and patience I have had no problems.

Thanks a lot for the info Survival shop! Ya was thinking about an adjustable gas block as well. My ultimate goal is to lighten up my sass and turn it into a hunting rifle. I have already taken 3 mule deer with it but it's way too heavy to carry on a long elk hunt. Another side question since I'm kinda new to reloading for a semi automatic. Is it completely necessary to crimp reloads? I have seen mixed info other places. How do people shoot non-cannelured match bullets? Do ya just put a light crimp on these? Born and raised on bolt guns and black powder muzzleloaders. Kinda new to ARs. Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes!

Thanks for the welcome, from wyoming! Great forum great people.

Hi everyone I'm new to the forum lots of great information. Here's what I have: rifle is DPMS LRT SASS set up with fixed PRS stock. I wanted to put a collapsible stock with kynshot hydraulic buffer. I screwed up and bought the armalite sized carbine buffer and a standard mil spec extension + dpms carbine buffer spring. My question: To fix my issue can I buy the longer armalite RE and armalite carbine buffer spring and still have my dpms bolt carrier function properly? Plan to shoot hotter hunting loads for elk. Does this make a difference in choosing buffer weights? thanks guys for your time and expertise!
