I see LOTS of very good candidates. Varget should burn well, but leaves about 100 fps on the table. Re16 is the first one I would try. But let's not turn this into a reloading discussion any more than we already have. Not fair to Jorge. I believe Chad used a shorter barrel example, since the distance from chamber to gas port cannot be ignored.

I would've tried an adjustable gas block before I bought any other gas tubes or let someone drill on my barrel. If you're trying to adjust the gas flow, why not? That's why there's a market for adjustable gas blocks. Uhhhh....no. The gun is under gassed. An adjustable gas block would not have helped the issue at all. An adjustable gas block can only reduce gas flow for overgassed guns, it can’t add any additional gas flow over what a standard gas block allows. Adjustable gas blocks do nothing for undergassed guns, so this example is not “why there’s a market for adjustable gas blocks.” There is a market for adjustable gas blocks because many factory guns are overgassed, and because many people like to shoot suppressed.

I love this forum. My personal gun/shooting brain trust. Thanks fellas. Lots of great info. I'll see what it does with a stouter load. I'm running h4451 now as well.

Stouter load may do it.
I know you said you tried a lighter buffer and spring, but that is where I would give some more attention. Perhaps try a standard carbine length 223/5.56 buffer. This was what RRA suggested to me to fix a problem on a RRA LAR-08 that was doing the same thing as yours, and it worked.
