I shoot Highpower Rifle Competition and the AAC ammo is right on the money, literally. It groups darn good at 200 yards and at 300 yards which is rapid fire it will hold the 10 ring if I do my stuff. I will use 80 grs. at 600. Great video.
I am a US Distinguished Rifleman and get sub MOA from Blackhills Mk262 from a bone stock FN-15. I am also a Military Rifle Instructor assisting the USAMU deliver SDM Training and I see most students can eventually get MOA at 600 meters from Mk262 as well. From my match conditioned AR I use in Service Rifle Competition I can hold to about a half MOA from the 77 grain FGMM Ammunition on the MR-31 target. I have not tried the AAC round but look forward to testing it because no doubt the Mk262 and FGMM are just too expensive for my practice schedule.
If you ask me that's definitely some serious skills, especially with irons! Definitely enjoying longer distance shooting - feels like every shot counts haha. Yeah, Blackhills MK262 is a bit pricey so I'm on the hunt for something that's an acceptable substitute. Let me know how you like it if you try out AAC!
Good stuff, love the A4 clone! That was my first build Just grouped a bunch of 69/75/77gr 223/556 rounds from about 10 companies. Both AAC types you use here did some of the best! The match-grade Sierra matchkings performed slightly better than the AAC 77 OTM. Both were about 1.5-2MOA for me that day. 50yrds, 10rd groups, next is velocity measurements.
Bro as a USMC vet I really dig your content. Watching you learn an grow in your shooting journey through the same firearms I started from is dope an brings back hella good memories. Keep up the good work man an looking forward to your future videos.
There are two types of "hollow points". One is a true hollow point and is meant to expand. These are typically found in pistol ammo. The other one is non-expanding and is simply a biproduct of making match grade projectiles. The brass is "drawn over the lead core from the base to the tip leaving the tip hollow. Technically this is a "hollow point", hence the term boat tail hollow point match. Since actual "hollow points"(the ones meant to expand) are banned from use in our military, the term open tip match was coined to prevent confusion. I hope this helps.
Hague Convention, late 1800's into the early 1900's. But since a lot of NATO countries signed the agreement, we make "non-hollow point" ammo that complies with it.
Be very careful with what situations you use AAC in. There's lots of random tomfoolery and things like jacket separation, it's probably a really bad idea to ever shoot it through a suppressed rifle, and people have had baffle strikes with it. I wish 5.56 was cheaper. I wish I had a six figure job back when it was 30 or fewer cents per round.
This is the second time I've heard this. What are we talking about here? Problems with Sierra bullets or something different??? Anybody got vids or forum posts on it?
Do you even know what I'm talking about here? Do you have any idea how little that qualifies you to know about the QC of a specific ammo company? @@charlesludwig9173 The military does not use AAC brand ammo 99.5% of the time. I can't entirely rule it out, because DoD buys any old 5.56 in emergencies, but I honestly doubt a single round of AAC 5.56 has been purchased by DoD so far. This is a brand new ammo company. I am not talking about 77gr being a problem, or 55gr, or 62gr, or 5.56 as a whole. This is a unique situation.

Beautiful scope - also condolences to that practice target, buddy got fried 😂

Ahh thank you! Yes this makes sense, I was wondering!
Yea that’s what they tell the Geneva Convention

the copper jackets are too thin and sometimes they just kinda get flung off from the centripetal force@@Kilo__Bravo
Really? I am a Military Rifle Instructor and have never seen a single example of the problem you profess.

That's only an issue with their 55 gr stuff from my understanding, their 'match' bullets are made by Hornady and sierra so they should be fine
What sling is that?
It's the Blue Force Gear Vickers padded sling!
