Investigate different brands that might have a better shot/slug cup that lets the load get past the gas port with less fouling. Also, some loads like S&B buck are longer. This might affect mag load or 1st round cycling.
If you have a short 18" barrel or a really long barrel like a 28" and want something in between, this is an excellent alternative. Normally barrels go for $200 - $280.
