You be surprise how much those booolets cost in Canada at least $2.00 per shot ( Canadian ) for cheap ammo, for rimfire 22LR on sale for $34.00 Canadian and that is Federal Bulk in a 325 Rd box. a Bring your own Bottles of 250 RDS of 22 WMR , it was 124.99 Can.$ at Cabelas , ( Bass Pro ) a box of 100 primers is $17.00 ....... lots of sadness in Canada Folks , many of us Pray ....
I get it. You test a lot of stuff I would not have considered. I'm injured, uninsured and out of work, but I have a lot of things I don't think, or haven't seen you try. I could send a package. Have you ever tested 6.5 Grendel? My favorite AR caliber and I have a stockpile of various loads
I shoot the 55 grain Hornady Superformance CX monolithic bullets from my Ruger American Gen 2 Ranch in 5.56. She is AWESOME with my Gemtech Tracker can on the end. Also zero recoil and pretty quiet. Can keep within 1 MOA all day long off the bench. Practical field accuracy is prolly 2 MOA in hunting/field conditions which is still good when actively hunting game.
Heck yeah all of those are substantially better than the first test load that you did in your previous video. I’m happy that they worked out well for you.
Most barrels, even those polished from the factory, need some rounds run down them to get "seasoned" so to speak. Looks like with good groups from 55 to 75 grains all it needed was some range time to settle in. My coyote gun is a Ruger AR 5.56 with a 1-8 twist barrel and I settled on the 64 grain Winchester Deer Season XP ammo as it really seems to like it, even though it shoots 55 grainers just fine.
I've found that my Ruger american predator 7mm-08 and 6.5 needed lots of ammo through them to tighten up compared to other rifles out of the box. Learned that with the 6.5, bought 4 boxes of cheap 7mm-08 to break in with. Both are very accurate rifles now.
No doubt here. I’m sure someone has a rifle that slings UMC well, it isn’t any of mine tho..lol. Best groups I’ve had with UMC is out of my Sig and that was 1 3/4 which is ok enough for training, for me anyway..
I remember talking to a NYC police officer. We talked about how their new ARs were not accurate. It turned out how rifling twist rate and bullet weight would end witj accuracy being poor. Too fast a rate of twist with lite weight cause the accuracy to be really crazy. They went heavier rounds and got the desired accuracuy.
There are so many different bullet styles/constructions out there, not to mention powder and primer combos, I dunno how anyone can say "It won't like X weight"
Looking pretty sweet. Would love to see some chrony numbers on all that stuff. Maybe you could reach out to any of the new lab radar style units and try one out. The Garmin looks super portable and user friendly.
Awesome results, ruger don't make lemons,lol, I'm the kinda hunter that uses only one caliber for where I live, that's the 44 mag, I'm older now, in my sixties, but still prefer that same caliber, I'm only shooting round 50 to 150 yards, I put s scout scope on it for my peepers, I know you have lots of different calibers of bullet slingers, but have you ever sighted in a 44 mag?, it's alot of fun ,just asking, that's all, keep those dang good videos coming wtw, shakyjake out.
I forgot to mention, my rifle of choice is a chiappa wildlands classic, with the wood stock and forend, 16.5"barrel, pic rail installed, peep sights already installed, very comfortable short rifle that pacs a punch
My savage 10 shot 4in groups until about 300 rounds, now it groups under .5......I think it had some rough spots with the 5r rifling. I almost sold it, glad I didnt
i was looking at your stock to barrel fit in the video have you checked the fit clearance with a piece of paper? I. had bought a savage 110 awhile back 22/250 and had similar with grouping problem i took it to a local gun smith . He re cut the crown and that cured the problem it was a fluted SS heavy barrel. You have to try as many bullet weights till you find what works, thanks for all your videos there very well done . NW OHIO FAN>
Not to shabby. I know ammo isn't as cheap as it once was. Though a 5 rd group might give a bit more data. Seemed the odd ball out on all those groups was the first round fired. With the editing it's hard to know how much of that has to do with cold bore.
So how variables changed 🤔, should have shot ammo u did so bad with first time, u changed ammo, weather conditions, how rifle was held , anything else im missing?
Hey Mr. Who, l got a nice t-shirt and my Bing bang store, it says, it says it says ; the three most useless things in life A dull knife A gun without bullets Joe Biden It made me raff out rowd. I'm learning Chinese. ror 😭
That rifle is money. Love the setting at the beginning of the video with the old table with the gun sitting on it and the barn in the background. Classic TN country look right there!
It’s not bullet weight, 55 grain is well within what will stabilize in a 1 in 8. The Remington UMC he used last time is just garbage target ammunition, I’ve used it in a variety of firearms and 2-3 moa is the best I’ve gotten even from weapons that shoot half moa or better normally.
@@jaydunbar7538 you cant make 2moa loaded ammo shoot 1moa, which is your typical bulk ammo loading, just personal experience ive found 62s shoot better than 55s., i prefer 77 otms.
@@tw1st3dw1ll7 because most of the 55s you find are bulk target ammunition, throw some 55 grain v max in it and you will see good results. I have multiple 1 in 8 rifles, grain weight is not an issue so long as the bullet and loading is consistent.
I have multiple 1/8 twist rifles in 5.56. Each prefer different weights and factory loads than the others. Bare minimum I have to buy 2 different factory rounds for them all to be happy. Not 1 factory round has acceptable performance out of all of them. I literally have to mark the cans so I can remember which is for which.. Buying bullots is a pain in the rear, but part of the fun I guess.. Rifles are like women. No 2 alike and can be temperamental.. lol
75gr was my guess. Looks like it preferred those lengths and velocities. Will need to chronograph and pull bullets from them. Both the Remington 69gr box and the Hornady Black 75 gr looked like good choices with the cold bore, and ammo switch. Need to do more than 3 round samples of each.
I have the gen 1 of this gun with an inexpensive Bushnell AR optics 3-9x40 scope. I use IMI Systems razor core 77 grain HPBT. With a bi-pod and rear bag (if I also do my part) it will shoot same hole accuracy at 100 yards all day and sub MOA at 250 yards.
We always need to remember that with any new firearm, there is usually a rigorous testing/break in period in finding the best ammunition it likes. I’ve rarely purchased a new firearm and found it to be perfectly happy with anything I feed through it. Practice and testing will almost always result in finding the most accurate ammunition a firearm is compatible with!
This guy has admitted he has no patience for Common Sense (to us) things like that. Prefers to label a firearm "junk" right up front instead. I don't knwo why he keeps buying guns -- apparently for absolutely no reason at all -- and with no research done on them whatsoever. It's as though he operates on Impulse Buy only, nothing more.

Usually for competition shooting 100 to 200 rounds a barrel does its best. Here he is using for hunting purposes and this system has been used for year's. While not a .2 or .3 group, this has worked for average hunter's for year's. We are also looking at a factory rifle under 1000 dollar's, when barrels alone for group's mentioned above are usually from barrels close to that amount. Not to mention the action, trigger, stock, bipod etc. Looking at .5 group's to .8 from this set up is very respectful and shows his abilities. For hunting even small predators this is adequate. All in all this is his channel with his methods and experience. I have no dog in the fight but I like watching. If I didn't I could simply go to another channel.
I'm betting you had a burr in your barrel. My dad had that problem (30 years ago) and said it took 2 boxes of 30-06 before it started shooting right. Sounded suspect to me, but heck what do I know?
a.)I'm a firm believer in "fouling shots".Here I obrserved,that the first shot,after each change, grouped differently,while No.2 and No.3 grouped together.-Shot at least two groups.-b.)I wonder,if this rifles groups could be improved by reloads tailored to this rifle???🤔
Fouling shots along with more one or more 5-round groups would really tell us more than the channels says it can provide based on cost of ammo. I can get a some very nice 3 round groups but then the 4th and or 5th round will make the group much larger due to inconsistency in the ammo. For 22LR CCI Standard Velocity will have or two fliers in each group taking the group well over 1 MOA. Some people want to see a group of 10 or more rounds. Others say 5 groups of 5-rounds may be needed.
Undoubtedly they can with someone that knows what they are doing. Factory ammo is like a 1 size fits most hat. I’d say finding factory round that out performs a hand load by someone that knows what they are doing is rare.
@@raykettel1837 Talking factory ammo it’s a toss up.. I’ve gotten batches of CCI standards that shoot lights out, and then others that don’t group worth a crap.

Stingers seem to be really good, but the barrel manufacturer I use recommends not to use stingers..
People don’t have understand twist rates. As long as the bullet is stable it doesn’t matter. 1:8 can stabilize 55-77gr easily. Nothing in that range is “better”
This is NOT a precision rifle it’s quite literally a RANCH rifle which isn’t necessarily anything more than a varmint rifle, no precision. At about 600 US it’s just about as entry level as it can get.
Es un rifle interesante... pero me gusta más el ruger ranch clasico, acá tenemos uno y es una maquinita de meter tiro tras tiro con cualquier munición❤😎
Awesome, glad to see it redeemed itself. A shame that you didn’t include the first ammo you had tried to reconfirm the results. Just for the led sled hater crowd 😁
Good on you for trying some more rounds with heavier bullets. That rifle could probably be a solid sub .5 Moa with some hand loads. Hit the like button 👍
Nice work mate 🍻👍....Good to see another video that sticks it to the Ruger American haters. 😁 Also proof once again that most modern budget friendly factory rifles with even entry level affordable optics like the Hawke Vantage are going to put just as much venison on the table and pigs / varmints on the deck as rigs costing twice and three times as much. Take a look at the Element Optics Helix 2-16x50 HD if you are looking for a great allround hunting scope for your 7mm-08. Great glass, great turrets at a great price. 👍
I got a gen one in 450 bushmaster and at 100 yards I can shoot it sub moa . Not sure if they all work that good. But I swapped out trigger springs and knocked down trigger to 1.5lbs. Where I live it's so thick and so many hills you rarely shoot over 100 yards
1/8 twist like a long contact surface on the projectile but Try one of those rubber barrel harmonic devices place it between 5 1/4 to 6 inches from the muzzle the results will surprise you
I wonder if the lead sled had any effect, I wouldn't think so but these did good. Also if last video was new gun and not many rounds I wonder if the barrel is getting burnished some now and is showing the results you were looking for
My 1 in 8 larue tactical barrel shoots everything under .5 moa. From 50gr vmax to 77gr otm. Your probably would to, in decent ammo, not bulk plinking junk.

I’m glad you made it back out with the American in 5.56. It looks like it was worth it.
Remington 69,,
I got a gen one in 450 bushmaster and at 100 yards I can shoot it sub moa . Not sure if they all work that good. But I swapped out trigger springs and knocked down trigger to 1.5lbs. Where I live it's so thick and so many hills you rarely shoot over 100 yards
Awesome little rifles
1/8 twist like a long contact surface on the projectile but Try one of those rubber barrel harmonic devices place it between 5 1/4 to 6 inches from the muzzle the results will surprise you
🇦🇺😎👍🏁
guess its not the gun
Don’t discount the Hornady black… Impressive given the no Fowler/ammo swap
Lookin good with those rounds. That 69 grain SMK was my guess for best. It was close.
Individual results will vary of course. Nice groups though.
I wonder if the lead sled had any effect, I wouldn't think so but these did good. Also if last video was new gun and not many rounds I wonder if the barrel is getting burnished some now and is showing the results you were looking for
Nice looking rifle and slinger WTW! ♠️🎩🎯🎱🇺🇸🏁🇮🇱🇺🇦🔱🌻🏵️💮🌸🌼🏴☠️🏹
Test some 55gr X-tac, 55gr Winchester LC, 62gr fusion, pmc bronze
Put 2 in the _EXACT_ same hole with the HB75gr. I bet if you shot higher group counts the results would be a bit different.
My 1 in 8 larue tactical barrel shoots everything under .5 moa. From 50gr vmax to 77gr otm. Your probably would to, in decent ammo, not bulk plinking junk.
