It's not a solution, but it can't hurt when you need more back pressure. In my case, I think the main problem is the adjustable gas block is too restrictive even at full open, compared to a free flowing non-adjustable block. Unlike WG Joe, it's only Wolf that gives me a problem -- Hornady black has worked 100% even with the GB partially closed. I'm wondering if Wolf's lighter bullet presumably giving higher velocity and hence less dwell time is further compounded by a poor seal of the bimetal bullets in Faxon's 5R rifling.
