    As I understand it per Herr Hackathorn, the Wolf .223 is loaded using powder made for the 5.45 (as the Ruskies don't sell to many domestic .223s). The 5.45 round operates at a much lower pressure, which causes the .223 loadings to be much weaker.

    That's interesting. If it's true it would make sense to me.

    But ammo and ammo types is something I'm literally just beginning to understand.

My buffer isn't marked as an H buffer. I might be an "H," but at this point I can't even remember where it came from.

    And, I will add, this setup is fantastic. It is light, fast and has the recoil of a mouse fart.
    What muzzle break do you have on it?

    While we're talking muzzle brakes and the 14.5 BCM mid-lengths, I have a question too.

    Is there any major drawback to going with permanently attached brakes (aside from the obvious loss of flexibility)?

    I think there are going to be a few surprises when it comes to the midlength 14.5" uppers from BCM. People are going to want them.

    I hope you don't mean they are going away.

    Do tell...........I've got one, and built 1 from a Sabre and one from DD. This is my favorite configuration.

    After an approx. 100 round break in with Centurion M193, I ran my 14.5" middy through a 3-day class during which I shot nearly 1,100 rounds without cleaning. About 1k of that was PMC 55gr. Using an H-buffer I didn't have any issues.

    I'm going to zero mine today with some 62 grain Wolf. I'm taking along a C buffer just in case the H has issues.
