Wouldn't the heavier buffer make the rifle more prone to short stroking with lighter loads?
I am considering a LR308B as well and was wondering about ammo, like if the lithuanian 146gr mil-surp was ok to shoot. I emailed DPMS and they replied with this: "The rifles function well with American factory ammo and only really functions with 165-180 gr ammo."Does the DPMS need a "stout" load to cycle? Sorry for all these questions but I'd like to know what to expect from the gun. And yes, the Indian ammo doesn't group worth a crap.

We have used this ammunition in the past for testing purposes and found the brass is extremely soft and can "flow" into microscopic pores and grooves in the chamber creating "sticky" extraction. This has been reported in many types of rifles, but is more prevalent in semi-automatic weapons.
