ST-T2 is between an H and H2 buffer. I've measured mine at 4.1 oz using a postal scale at work. I would bet that they have matched the buffer weight to the gas port diameter they use on their uppers. A heavier buffer will increase dwell time and slow down the cyclic rate of the rifle.
Standard Carbine buffer = 3 oz total, reciprocal weight = 1.9 oz
H1 = 3.7 oz total, reciprocal weight = 2.8 oz.
H2 = 4.6 oz total, reciprocal weight = 3.5 oz.
The reciprocal weight acts like a dead blow hammer and reduces 'bolt bounce' when the BCG is slamming forward to close.
Vuurwapen blog has some great high speed video showing the effects of different buffers.
