Model 1 sales 300 fireball

I will just throw this out...do with it as you please. I ordered my model 1 sales barrel a few months ago and did a lot of shooting getting ready for a hog hunt. Here is what I have found to work on my upper.Let me start by sayingit took about 50 rounds and a lot of lube to break every thing in, it was very tight to start with.I have the 16 inch barrel with the gas port in carbine location the port size is what ever it came from model 1 as. This is what works for me. h110 or n110 or win296 for super sonic loads from 110gr to 150gr all function fine no problems. Subsonics, I am using accurate 1680 with the standard carbine spring and buffer in my vltor stock. I tried using the n110,h110 and 296 for subs but they would not cycle unless i used the lightened buffer and special whisper spring that i ordered from model 1 when i ordered my barrel. I didn't want to switch buffers and springs to change from subs to supers so i found a powder that made the subsonics function in the supersonic configuration. I have seen a lot of negative stuff about the model 1 sales uppers but mine has been great. They need to be shot abit and lubed to break in but after that just work with your powders. It is asking alot of a semi auto to function with full house loads and then sub loads using the same powder because your pressures are way different. So give it a powder that has a slower curve to operate with the subs. just my 2 cents worth but i have put about 500rnds down range with my whisper in the last 2 1/2 months and love it...
