    Just used an M16 patch the little 1x1 square ones in front of AS30 or similar.
    I also noticed real accuracy didn't show till the 3rd firing but it was good enough for hunting.
    Got a hydraulic die thru a purchace of another rifle and it is easier and shoots well from the get go. All the money you will waste on components and time the hydraulic system pays for itself in my opinion with better results.

    Thanks R93. yeah I read similar reports with cream of wheat method. Guess there isn't just enough pressure from those methods. Will look into hydraulic die thingy...
