I had a partial case head separation using a 1.8oz buffer

The fallacy of this argument was already pointed out, but I don’t recall a refute to it.

Sample sizes, assumption of the forum being a comprehensive collection of all failures, and another poster’s search showing up multiple other brass types to his query.

Did you perhaps overlook those like I did the 1.8 ounce buffer?

1.8oz buffer is significantly less weight than your typical 2.9oz carbine buffers.

I would never put that light weight of a buffer in a CLGS .223 Rem, let alone 6.5 Grendel.

OP basically duplicated somewhat one of the main problems they experienced with the Edgewater spring guide in Vietnam, shooting the new M193 with ball propellant, only his chamber is really clean and more likely in-spec.

I apologize for overlooking this critical piece of information that now pretty much nails the coffin shut on early locking with CLGS and 1.8oz buffer.

While I continue to agree to disagree on some things; I will agree that is a really light buffer!
