I was just curious if you could use salt as a buffer, it would be considerably cheaper than using the premium buffer.

Sometimes cheaper isnt necessarily better...along those lines, I wont run AM/PM brand gas in my vehicules...
I knew a guy in flagstaff who picked up old car batteries and used them for target practice out on his property...He'd leave 'em sit out in the weather for a year or two, then when he figure it was time, he'd dig out the lead and cast his own bullets...He ended up trashing a perfectly good mini-14 ranch rifle barrel due to the residual sulfuric acid on the lead...he hated a penny cuz it was'nt a nickel...
