I had pretty good success with the H2 as well. We even ran an H3 in it when it was new. But if I wanted to ensure reliable function when dirty/dry, etc... I'd probably just run an H buffer.

Another good question would be... is all this ejection
pattern stuff that's talked about on other forums nonsense?
No. But it's only a piece of the puzzle. It can be a good indicator of what the gun is doing, but some folks with just enough info to be dangerous start messing with shit on their gun based on that ****ing retarded MS paint clock chart thing that you see posted every so often. :rolleyes:
This has been discussed recently here:

And is a perfect example of what MarkM is talking about--and yes, this link also has that MS Paint clock chart in it too. :)
I shoot match reloads through my lightweight 14.5 middy. It shoots great. I havent tried any cheap steel or lacquer coated stuff, and I doubt I ever will.
I've made that case as well :o
I certainly haven't met my limit with it as is. The persons I shot said his won't cycle any russian steel and haven't really researched what combos work. It was just an idea I had but the A5 RE looks proprietary.
On paper, I thought the 14.5 middy was the perfect set up. I'm less sold on that notion now that I've got a thousand plus rounds on the platform.... due to the fact that it can barely handle a rifle buffer system. And that is the bottom line test for a good upper.
It's almost too much of a good thing with the smoothness. And with masturbators wanting to buy guns that run shit import steel cased ammo, it's hard to recommend the setup.
If you are willing to run good ammo, it's a nice configuration.
