I lightened a rifle buffer and used a 10% reduced power RE spring and had to almost close my gas block off. It is barely open and the the rifle is a very soft shooter that only throws the brass a couple feet away from the bench. My gas port on that rifle is .101, it is rather large but it is a rifle +2" on an 18" barrel, not much real estate between the gas port and the muzzle. And the rifle runs a lot cleaner having almost no gasses going to the BCG and the bolt stays locked longer.What weight did your rifle buffer end up at? And as you reduce power Spring a wolf one?
