Hey, this is my first thread.
I have an NM M1A and I want to "mostly" exclusively shoot 168gr BTHP in .308 Win. I bought the Schuster gas plug because when I switched over to the 308 from the NATO rounds I noticed that the brass was getting beat up and that the wood near the receiver was getting dinged pretty good too. I also noticed that my 200yd zero with the NATO round was now my 100yd with the 308 at 200yds. I was wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with the plug? I was thinking if tuning it for NATO to where it will cycle softly and then just shoot the 308 where it will act like the NATO round. I want to bleed off some gas to save the op rod and lugs, but be able to shoot both rounds without any hiccups.
Or, should I just tune it to 308 and the switch out plugs for when I shoot NATO rounds? I keep the M14 tool kit in the stock and there is room for a plug.
Thanks in advance.
