Ok. That's why I don't think overgassed is proper. Less weight moving = less felt recoil/sight disturbance/whatever. Because the gas drive is reduced to keep the the carrier velocity down, not adding weight behind it.

You are correct. Over gassed is over gassed and a heavier buffer will not fix it.
The same goes for buffers. A buffer that's too light is to light and attempting to undergas the AR wil not fix it.
When I tested the carbine, H & H2 buffers, all three needed the same gas setting for full function. When the gas was set for full function with the H2 buffer, that was the gas setting needed for the carbine buffer. When the gas was closed one click, the AR short stroked with the carbine buffer. The difference was that the lighter buffer gave sharper recoil.
If you want softer recoil with a lighter buffer, you'll need to use lower pressure ammo.
