I have used 3 different powders and gotten to about 3/4 of max load so far. I am going to try a regular weight buffer. The H buffer is fine on factory 123 amax loads from Hornady so once I get to full pressure loads on my bench I am sure the H buffer will work fine.
Loads of less than 27 or 28 grains of AA2520 won't cycle my action. It's not the buffer, you just aren't using enough powder.
If you want to shoot a light load start at 10% less than max and it should cycle the bolt.
Nice looking rifle!
