OK, here's the finished build with one short range trip in the books just for zeroing and function test mainly. First three out of the pipe were .750" and after zeroed I was boringly ringing the 300 and 525 15" steel at my buddies property. Ranging a particular ridge in his perimeter I think I can safely put another target at 960ish. Ran great with  Hornady 105s except didn't hold the bolt open on the last round. I have an SA gas block but it was set at full open for initial testing. Next to try the 108s... a few normal feeds and then apparent under gassed malfunctions... shot all 20 with several malfs.... Then when I got home I remembered that the lower I was using had an H2 buffer in it so searched the parts bin and found a carbine buffer which I assume the Proof 18" barrel was designed to work with... Report back when I get back out.
