OMG Klem was right. It wasn't so much that I felt gas blowing back in the face. But when the RSO called ceasefire for target change and I dropped my mag the top round on the mag was filthy. Attached is a photo of two Hornady 123 gr. A-Max from the same box of ammo.
Guess I have a DI gun now. Quite a shock since my previous two semi-autos were a FAL and a 30 Carbine (both piston guns). It must have taken me an hour to get everything clean again!
How do you guys put up with it?
Anyway, I think I am going to put the flash hider back on the AR and restrict the can to the bolt action rifle.
Coming from shooting 5.56/9mm suppressed for the last few years, you just allocate more time to cleaning. That's it. All of my BCG's are now nickel boron or black phosphate so just hit em with the degreaser and wipe. Much easier than the standard BCGs. Microslick stuff is coming out too.
I don't think I've ever seen an accuracy decreased because of dirty rounds in the mag, I wouldn't worry about it.
Edit - also look into an adjustable carrier. I have a Bootleg carrier on the way for my 12.5" suppressed 5.56 I'll try before buying more for the 6.5G rifles.
