So I am aware that the 300BO has cycling issues.
I took mine out this weekend and had a lot of fun with it.
REALLY -- A lot of FUNN!!!
Actually I got my first Buck (EVER) with it, even with it's issues.

So my question it thus.
In regards to the AR's Buffer spring. I am not seeing any kind of differential between springs on the Interweb market.
Is there a compression rating?
Is there a load rating for buffer springs?
I am not even sure what word to use to express my question comprehensively.
I see buffer springs, price wise, from $3 to $50. but no comparative information associated with them.
I guess what I am asking is, for the 300BO users here on this forum, what kind of buffer spring are you using, and how are you determining a value to that spring to get your AR to cycle effectively.
A thought that I had was simply this, to buy two or three regular springs and cut some of the end off until it cycled properly. But I thought Id ask the general population this question first, before bothering with that task.
I shot about 30-40 rounds and not one fully cycled.
At the moment I am assuming that the problem is the spring but I know that there are a few other contributing factors that could cause the 300BO AR15 not to fully cycle. this is just my first attempt to solve the issue.
I used two different bullet weights, 125 and 150 GR Green nosler polymer tipped.
And 150GR FMJ.
The casings were made by me, from .223
The powder loads were H110 15GR.
I got the load recipe off YOUTUBE.
Thank you for reading this post.
