When I shoot PMC Bronze through my rifles it is like shooting a pellet gun.
I have a couple guns with adjustable gas and there is something you'll need to know. First, not all ammo is pressured the same, so set it to handle the lightest load and it should be ready for anything. You can tweak to each load for max effect, but this would be the most reliable all-purpose setting. Second, it has been my experience that you can lighten the buffer assembly with reduced gas. If you go H2/H3 and heavy spring, then you may not be able to take full advantage of the adjustable gas.
Mine is tuned so that it won't function reliably without the silencer mounted. It'll short stroke. But with the can on, that sucker runs like a rifle gas system. (It has a break, so the can is effectively dedicated)

I've been watching this thread as I'd like a little less recoil also. I don't know if I can justify it because I don't shoot well enough yet to make much of a difference. I had looked at a few muzzle brakes but kept the A2 on others advice here. I do like the miniscule amount of recoil my rifle length has, it's much less than my BCM carbine. I'm probably just going to go with an A5 as that seems to be the best route.
I haven't bought PMC in years, it wouldn't cycle my Mini-14 half the time (it would throw Wolf, XM193, American Eagle, and pretty much every other brands cases about 20 yards) and it was tearing case heads. I actually got one stuck when it ripped a case head completely off. After inspection with a micrometer of a XM193 and Remington cases I came to the conclusion that the brass was poorly formed and thinner, sorry I can't remember by how much. It scared the hell out of me that I could have had a KB if it had actually been loaded to spec, it could have been a bad batch but who knows. I just chalked it up as being the reason it was cheaper than XM193 and I've avoided it ever since.
Appeasement is never the answer in the face of naked aggression.
I just ordered a A5 system and a new BCM Mod 1 compensator
Im running the surefire mb556k, less felt recoil for sure! Concussion yes, but im getting used to it.
Paired with my H buffer, I like the way my carbine runs now.
I put a Mako recoil reducing stock on a Bushmaster MOE .308.
It reduces the felt recoil quite a bit. I don't know how much
benefit it would be on a 5.56.

Have you tried this combination with a H2 buffer and Red Sprinco spring? How well did it work? I have two other mid lengths and two other carbines I am wanting to modify and smooth out a little.
I bought an A5 system this week and love it to say the least but do not want to spend $120 to modify each of my other rifles, going to get very costly in the end otherwise but I have a few H2 buffers, buying a few $20 springs won't break much, LOL.
