When I load brass, I typically weigh and measure at least the first 5 to make sure I’m getting what I want. After that I weigh powder charges and measure overall length every 5 plus a random 1 in 10 or so.
I have Dad’s old RCBS double beam powder balance, which he RARELY used, opting instead for mid-scale loads and a set of Lee powder scoops. I also don’t think he measured, just went by the top of the cannelure. I have a digital scale and caliper.
He also rarely used his powder measure, but I use it ALL the time.
My question is; for range fodder loads (5.56/.223 for example or 9mm) how frequently do I really need to weigh and measure? I’m talking about loads for just fun shooting, or Zombie competition where the furthest target is less than 25 yards, and most targets are 25-50 feet. I almost never need to adjust or tweak the powder measure or bullet seating, even if I load partial boxes on different days. I get going, weigh and measure the first five, rarely adjust anything to pick up where I left off yesterday. If I do 100 loads in one sitting, how many of them need to be weighed and measured?
Short version: is a T2 buffer appropriate for a 10.5” AR Bushy pistol?
Back story: I have a 450 Bushmaster pistol upper and a 350 Legend pistol upper. (Iowa allows pistols during the late muzzleloader season, AR pistols included.) Both pistols have taken deer. But I only have two lowers, one of which is on a 300AAC in the bedroom wall safe. During deer season, the AAC loses its lower- not ideal. So I’m building another dedicated lower for the deer pistols. I have been running both deer pistols with standard buffers, but when I went to scavenge parts for the new lower, I discovered a pistol buffer/tube that I never used with a T2 buffer (Spike’s Tactical). So, do I build the lower with the T2 buffer for the Bushy, or the 350 L, or put the T2 away again and run two standard buffers? I’ve seen that 350 L likes a slightly heavier buffer but what about the Bushy?
