How heavy is too heavy? Not that I would ever play with mercury.............that might account for the way I act now..........

Not even sure if that's the proper term....
I just did a quick search on Lead Mercury Amalgam and I don't think this is a good idea.
Just my .02.......

I would like your input on your weight system. I want to add weight to the bolt carrier. What I was considering using, was a carbide shack off a end mill. .625dia x 2" long. I'm having a groove/notch ground into it. 3/16" from end. Then drill and tap a hole in bolt carrier, and use a set screw (cone point or dog point) to lock the carbide in place. It looks like i have enough material (thickness) to use only one set screw. Not a double stack. My thought on this is it will be removable, and get a less permanent modification. My worry is it coming loose. I will use loctite (red) on the set screw. What are your thoughts? Thanks for your time.

Dawg, you are correct that the rifle works fine without any weight, but the side crimp and BCA mass have different contributions to the overall cycle.
