Edited to add:

A quick root around the Web shows that others have had problems with this powder in ARs. Some say it doesn't cycle most ARs without a near or at max load. Weird thing is it works well in 7.62x39 in SKS rifles. Go figure.

NAH, it can never be the actual HandLoaded ammo,or the components used to BUILD a AR, it is always more fun to talk about short stroking and wet lube.


No owners manual I have ever seen says apply excess, gobs of lube and run the firearm WET? Just the opposite it says to apply LIGHTLY. There are only 3-4 friction points on a AR bolt. Then of course there is "the proper, bestest lube"
Hundreds of videos on the web on how to do this,
