Ooh, very interesting...
I occasionally shoot 200gr cast gas check (Lee mold) from my whisper but never with the can attached. I believe a plated bullet would take away my worries.
A 220-250...

30s are great for 3 gun competitions and just having fun at the range. 20s are much better for shooting off bags and bipods and are just plain handier to deal with.
Besides, how often do you fire...

Wow, nice molds/bullets. I would like to get my hands on a few of those.
I too am very interested in how they turn out at the range.

I have shot a lot of 200gr cast bullets out of my AR type whisper. I have not noticed any leading problem but the bolt and inside of the upper reciever get filthy fast. I use liquid alox as my lube...

I used a M1S barrel on my own build. The only trouble I had was poor accuracy (4-5"@100yds). I lapped the barrel and now have a rifle damn close to 1MOA. So that I could fire both super and subsonics...

Fire lapping, I am now a believer

I've had my whisper now for a few months but I never could get it to shoot very well. 2 1/2 -3" @ 100 yards was the best I could do. I was starting to worry my eyes had reached that stage and...

So it looks like the 125gr range is the prefered weight.
I guess that is what is throwing me off. I am used to calibers/twists that are best in a limited range such as .223 1/9 twist and 65-69gr or...

Yup, 16" barrel w/carbine length gas system.
As for the big Sierra and my gas checks I can imagine those Sierras have a hell of a lot more resistance.

Remove the internal weights from the buffer and see if that works. If it still doesn't eject try clipping coils off the buffer spring one at a time until you get it going.
That is what it took for...
