As you know you are only ducting off gas to cycle the action. Being able to adjust that for a given load or a suppressor is the benefit of an adj gas block. But even if you block the gas port right off, and the rifle should fire a safe load with no pressure signs.

Something else is going on.
Brass being thrown approx a meter away from the rifle is a lot less than my AR which is balanced and uses an identical load I use in my bolt .223 Might not be a biggy due to other things but could be an indicator of something else.

Barrel could be tight or a brass issue in turn causing headspace issues.
Hard to say without looking at it in person.
Hope you sort it.

Thanks that's kind of what I'm thinking what's the safest I could go at the low end of the scale as I've heard low loads can be dangerous as well been loading for a long time and havnt come across this before got some super x to try in it as well
