Its not a 308, its a 6.5 creedmoor. 143gr is the largest bullet I've seen for the creedmoor in a hunting bullet. Hornady precision hunter 143 eld-x, tried them and for me they didn't shoot any better than an $18 box of interlock. Hornady PH are $32 a box at my local shop.

I ran it from 0-4.5 turns out which functions as a standard maximum pressure gas block to all the way open in bleed off and the best it will do is 1-2 o-clock.

Shot today with no brass destroying. I didn't change my gas block bacause i wanted to see if it was just the spring. The first 3 shots did what it shows in the photo, that was with the gas block in full open position like a standard gas block. I finally got it cycling properly by opening the block all the way to full gas/bleed off, kicking shells in the 1-2 o clock area. But its cycling properly so im done messing with it. Side note, does bullet weight effect cycling? Seemed the 140 federal fusion cycled better then the 129 interlock. Thanks to all that helped and getting me on the right track.

Thanks for the reassurance. Hope Monday goes well. Again, thanks for everyone's help.

No kidding on the doctors. This is easily the best forum I've been.

Got the armalite spring today, I plan on shooting Monday. I gotta say it will blow my mind if an $11 spring that is a couple inches longer and a few more coils is going to solve my problem. Im not questioning anyone, its just crazy the problems I've had and this has been my issue. I've got a lot to learn still. Thanks to all that helped!

Ok, thanks.

Are you referring to the block or the barrel port size? I was asking about the gas block so i know what im looking for.

What should the port size be on the gas block? Is there a standard for AR10/LR308 vs AR15? Thanks

I ordered it on Armalite's site, shipping was cheaper. Thanks again.

Yes, it does and even putting it on that setting i still couldn't get it to eject and feed properly.

Yes, it's 3.25" long.

The bolt was disassembled and cleaned right before this shooting session, the whole gun had been cleaned.

Is my H3 buffer weight ok, keep it or change? Ill look for the spring and basic non adjusting block tomorrow at some local gun shops. There is one local that should have all i need in stock. Thanks for all your guy's help and input, appreciate it tremendously! Ive posted this on another forum yesterday afternoon that is directed to my caliber specifically with no replies at all. You guys bounced all over it and are getting me lined out.

Wtf?! I measured my rifle spring and it was 12.5" long with 29 coils. Why is JP selling these labeled as 308 springs?
