AFAIK, the NM flash suppressors are reamed to keep the bullet from striking the FS during a rainstorm (water droplets deflecting the bullet). The weight of the bullet shouldn't matter as they are all the same diameter, right?
Flash Suppressor Questions
At what bullet weight should you restrict to shooting a non-reamed flash suppressor? Would up to 165-168gr. be o.k. or what?
What are the specs that NM flash suppressors are reamed to? Does it require a special reamer?
Thanks,
Joe A.

requires a #7 tapered reamer and a 3/8" drill bit. The muzzle end is reamed out to .406" ID. HTH
Thanks for the replies. It's good that I don't know a M14 expert personally that I could ask questions. I would probably worry him to death.
I was thinking that the heavier bullets being less stabilized in a 1-12 twist could possibly wobble enough on exit to occasionally strike the suppressor. Didn't think about rain drops.
Thanks again.
