So many different configurations a one does all or adjust to work would be nice..
I'm in the same boat and need/want to try a H2 in this 14.5" I just picked up

I just saw this KAK Buffer kit today. Pretty cool idea to dial in your buffer.

While we are talking about buffers....
I have an 18" barrel from Rainier with rifle length gas and even with a WAR upper (adjustable gas system), I feel like it is really slinging the heck out of the brass and banging it up. My thought is the carrier speed since it's a lightweight AR15 carrier vs a "full auto" M16 style carrier. I am assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that a heavier buffer would benefit me here. I was looking at H1 buffers (3.8oz) & H2 buffers (4.6oz) and then saw a Spikes ST-T2 (4.3oz) but the difference in the Spike's buffer was Tungsten powder vs stacked weights, claiming to reduce reciprocation noise. Any validity to this? And is a heavier buffer even a solution to my "problem"? Otherwise the rifle functions flawlessly and shoots very very well.

I shoot spikes buffers pretty much exclusively when I'm not running an A5. Very smooth, no problems. Not with my T-1's or T-2's.
A heavier buffer would slow your carrier speed, but, if you can do it with your adjustable gas that would the place to start, assuming you're not already running on a very low setting.
ETA: The other thing you could do would be use a heavier buffer spring.-One Nation, Under God

Spikes buffers with the powder do not work as well as a normal buffer, and tend to cause more bolt bounce. They do not have the same dead blow effect. There are several videos showing this in slow motion.
