I questioned the same thing... You can find many arguments on forums about what's the better zero, what's the better bullet weight or what the best configuration. Yet no one bothered making a video about it. Until now
He has done a video on a 25/300, 50/200 and 100 yd zero. From zero to 200 a 50 yard zero is pretty consistent, but once you reach out past 200 the bullet drop is significant.
The M193 does even better with the 20" barrel on the A2. My A2 in 5.56 in a Delta configuration is almost as good as my Aero Precision M4E1 in 6MM ARC with a 16" barrel and 105 grain Hornady match.
@@davidmilisock5200Makes sense. Cartridge was made for that length. Had only been shooting green tips from the carbine, but is way to cold for outdoor range and they say no no to those indoors. So a vid about non green tips and perhaps insight into 11.5 and 20 inches would be good.
I’ve been shooting for 40 years and didn’t know these fundamentals. I always just liked guns and shooting. I’ve never owned a good scope but i now have a scope but it’s only a strike eagle gen 2 on a 14.5” pinned chf. Thanks for doing these videos.
No surprises here, the ballistic data just confirms that math doesn't lie. Thank you for the illustration of the concept, I'm sure it helped a lot of folks have a better understand.
Most of us use M193 for practice, and most late-manufactured barrels have a 1:7 twist -- which is FAR faster than M193 requires (original M16 had a 1:12 twist). I'm interested in the effect of 1:7 twist on M193 bullet travel -- especially as it gets out to longer ranges.
My only experience with the 1 in 7 twist is with the the 20" barrel on an A2. The answer to you question is from my experiance is that the M193 is very stable in the 1 in 7 and if the wind cooperates my A2 can make repeatable 600 yard hits.
Nice to see the 1:7 twist was not a detriment to the 55gr at all. Great to see that physics haven't changed and that a 14" barrel doesn't give the heavier bullets enough velocity to be as good at 300 yards bullet drop wise. Seeing the limits of that system, no magic bullet for shorter barrels in 5.56. Is what it is. Also confirmed that the m855 sucks accuracy wise, I'm not alone. You do seem to take our comments and use them so now I'd like to request and see this run with a proper 5.56 barrel length of 16" or even the original stoner length of 20" that the system was originally designed with for the 55gr vs heavier. I'd also love to see similar work done with the 6mm arc which I am coming to believe is a superior battle caliber for the AR15 over 5.56. Thanks so much!!
@@seanoneil277 The M855 was designed for better penetration from the shorter barreled M4. It runs at higher pressure than the M193, therefore produces higher velocity in the shorte barrels and has a steel wire core.
@@davidmilisock5200I had questions about that. FFL always seemed to have a can of Winchester M855. I read of an EPR or M855A1 for the Carbines, which seemed to imply 855 is for the 20". Well this EPR allegedly has faster burning powder for the shorter barrel. Faster burn equals more pressure, but complete burn in 14 inches. I told him, I'll have that. He says nope, civilians may not have that. Bolt breakage, or something. I don't know.
@@Driver-ur9mf The M855 (green tip) came to be when the M4 was in general use for a while. The M855A1 (from what I could find) does have a higher pressure, however the one issue that seems to reappear itself is feed ramp wear since the M855A1 has the steel tip on the outside. If my memory is working, they created a different magazine for that cartridge.
I stumbled on this channel a couple of weeks ago. These videos are pure gold. It's like the video selections are from my wish list of knowledge. Thank you!
Love the no-nonsense videos man! Straight to the point and very informative. In a future video I’d like to see a comparison on barrel twist rate vs. bullet weight. There’s a lot of charts out there regarding this, but I haven’t seen any videos with real world shooting data.
These videos always interest me because I use to zero mine at 100 which is difficult with my old eyes. I use mine for hunting so I use to zero at 100 yds, but switched to the 36 a while back. Now I’m switching bullets to a 70 grain and know about what I can expect.
Just started coming across your videos. Man thank you for keeping it simple. As a new shooter to this platform, I greatly appreciate the easy to understand approach. Please keep up the great work.
I love these vids. Sometimes as instructors we don’t always have the right cues or eloquence to reach every student (everyone learns differently) and in those cases I’ve found that showing them these vids makes it “click”
So now I'm GLAD (again) that I have mostly M193 55 grain. I was starting to think about switching to something heavier since some say heavy equals accurate, but your practical test kind of says otherwise. Thanks!
keep in mind of the zero he's using, for the heavier bullets in a long rifle you'd want to probably use a farther zero like 50/200 instead of the 36 zero.. it all depends on the usage
I watched this video and one other video on all the stuff you accomplished here. I can't remember what the definitive nature was with the calibers and such on the other video but I just remembered that it along with this one is so helpful. I wonder if you've ever done a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 308 like you did here with the 556. If you've already done it please shoot me back a reference and I'll watch that video but love what you do. Great job especially for someone like me who's not as versed in all this. Helps me gain knowledge out of real practical level. So good. Thank you my friend
I pushed a quarter size hole straight threw 70 lb hog at 70 yards with razor core 77 otm it amazing how much of the shoulder on exit side was damaged .
That guy cannot make ammo fast enough lol. Needs expensive machinery. Props to him though for doing what I wish I could do. I want to build a browning blr mini action for the arc
I'm wanting to build a 14" 6mm arc for a truck gun. I've heard good things about the caliber at that barrel length, but would still like to see a video in this format and the others he's been doing on this topic, with that barrel length and caliber. Especially with the 3 offerings that Hornady has right now on it.
We love your videos. You're saving us all alot of time and ammo by SHOWING us what's going on with all 3 bullets. Not just telling us. You do a great job at explaining what you're talking about. We love your channel and keep up the good work. God bless you and yours and God bless America 🇺🇸.
I really Enjoy your Videos! You Cover Lots of Information! I’ve always been a Fan of 36 Yard Zero. Pretty much Translates into Three Inches High at 100 Yards. Growing Up in South Dakota, I Sighted in most of my rifles at 3 Inches High at 100 Yards. I’m 63 Years old now and a Marine Veteran. Thanks Again! Love watching your Videos!
These videos are fantastic! I would love to see a video of a 36yd zero with different grain weights but keeping the original zero to see point of impact shift. Say 77gr 36yd zero and shoot 55 and 62 with the zero for 77 and see how they compare
Another great video. You have no idea how these videos help people who dont have availability and or access to longer shooting ranges. I like seeing the heavier 5.56/223 bullet info they are becoming more popular and available. Perhaps a video showing a 77 grain bullet zeroed at 25 yards , 50 yards and 100 yards and the results of those zeros at 300 yards.
Great Job on these videos. I love how you tell us about the Gun and setup, what ammunition, explain trajectory theory, and then announce each group of shots before they occur. Without this we are just looking at another video of bullet strikes in a go pro. We know it is 50 yd zero, 100 yard shot etc... I and people that I shoot with refer back to your wrap-ups over and over so we can get it right the first time and not waste expensive ammunition verifying our equipment. I have never been able to get people to understand on the first try and you do it every time. God Bless you. I notice you often refer to what your ballistic calculator says and you are verifying it with your equipment. I am a re-loader and like many have nearly no way to verify a 200 yard shot. Perhaps you could show us how to run the numbers on a ballistic calculator and then verify on a 100 or less range the information from our gun with inches high at 100 and so on. I think this would be very practical for nearly everyone that lives in more urban areas that can never get long shots. Just a suggestion Keep up the good work. I bet you are making a greater contribution to the shooting community than even YOU know. Having spent much time on the range I realize this type education takes much effort to produce. keep up the good work, we'll be watching.
Great series idea, this is good stuff! I was very surprised by the 62gr performance at 300y (wide disbursement)., as well as the amount of drop (13 inches) of the 77gr from 200-300yds. I wasn’t expecting the 77gr to be higher at 200y than the lighter bullets but that amount of drop was crazy! Makes me wonder if the shorter barrel length contributed to that drop. In addition to optic height, muzzle devices, and barrel lengths, I’d love to see barrel twist rates with different bullet weights added to the list because I’ve read how a 1:9 won’t stabilize a 77gr down range and how 1:8 is the perfect all around compromise, etc.
@@greatcornholio5541M&P had a sport 2 with 1 in 8, saying it offers better stability. FFL said you can do better than that package. Perhaps. The 6920 has 1 in 7, chrome lined blah blah blah MP whatever, does fine w/green tips. I think, as that is all I fed it.
More videos need to be like, RL testing. Very practical. Have you ever tested another type of 0ing other than what is commonly used to see if there is a better grouping at the 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300 yards
@@IkfNorCalChamp yes they seem to have been not very accurate at the distance he shot but next time you go out & shoot them say at 700 yds you will see that they will shoot better than the 55g fmj’s or 62g , at least that’s what I see in my rigs because of the higher bc of the 77g . Your rifle will ultimately tell you if it likes them or not .
Dude, your videos are just the best. Super practical and you're obviously a really smart guy but you don't insult your audience and show it off. There's so much banter on the internet about this cartridge in that cartridge being better, but if you want to know what a cartridge does just play with a ballistic calculator. There's no best cartridge, just a bunch of trade-offs and you have to figure out what's best or what you want to do.
I’d absolutely love see this same testing n 7.6whew….especially from a 16” 1/10”….but you’ve got my 5.56 juices goin so I’m gonna fire my ol carbine range model with the compass in the stock rn….lokk out black Bart!
Awesome video bro. I personally don’t like using 55 grain ammo. I could never get a good group. I have a 16” 1/7 twist barrel on my range rifle. And it seems to favor 62 grain more than anything. I’ve shot heavier loads & I wish I could shoot more of it to work the barrel in more but man that stuff is kinda expensive. So if I buy anything over 62 grains it usually goes to storage.
Your dinner fantastic content. I wish you had the channel growth you should have, but people seem to watch videos with humor instead of actual content practicality....
You are doing such great work! This has fast become my favorite gun channel. Highly informative and relatable. I do envy those wide Open spaces and Long ranges you get to shoot.
Love the video man, one of the most underrated channels on UA-cam. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on a 42yd 300 zero with a 16in upper running 55gr 5.56 with a height over bore of 2.79in, ran it through a ballistic table and it was only +3.5in over point of aim at 150yds and a drop of -2.85in below point of aim at 300yds.
I think 36/300 zero is great for this test (bullet weight zeros will be most pronounced at these distances) but a video at 50/200 and 100 zero’s would be greatly appreciated 🫡
I was literally just deciphering this in my mind 2 minutes ago because of an optic I have coming which is set up for 62g reticle. Griffin armament 1x8 Thanks man!
Bro, I just found you, and this is some of the best content out there. I've been desperately trying to find zeros for my suppressed 11.5 and 12.5 that I solely run 75/77gr. I have a suppressed 16" and run 55gr because it's easy with my bdc optics. However, trying to figure out holds, zeros, etc, when mixing ammo, get confusing. Unfortunately, I only have a 100yd range. I'm actually looking at property solely to shoot distance and make a training ground on.
If your barrel is a 1-7 twist, it is going to effect the heavier bullets in a negative way. A 1-8 will help dramatically with heavier bullets and is something to be explored. The group will tighten up.
Awesome video!! Next time you do these. You should use different color tape for each bullet weight. Or if your doing different things. It will really show it better. And use wider cardboard so you don't shoot off target.
Awesome video. You are exploring the concept of maximum point blank range in the common vernacular. Looks like all would work just fine on a fairly large target to 300. I prefer 77s personally.
Great video! I found that the 5.56 cartridge performs much better for varmints with lighter projectiles. The increased velocity reduces the time of flight, offsetting the increased ballistic coefficient of the heavier projectile. As far an AR gas gun combat sight in, I use 50 yards.
I was kinda surprised at the 100yd group out of the 55gr. It was tighter than i thought it would be out of a 1/7 twist barrel. Thanks for the info. Cheers
Another great video. I'd be curious about the velocities at 300 yards, to calculate the terminal ballistics and energy on target. I get the best accuracy with 77g, but this video makes me think that 55g might be as good or better, if it can still get the job done.
This makes me think we are dealing with the wrong caliber. I would like to see larger calibers tested the same way and see what you come up with. I am excited to see some rifle companies going to 6mm cartridges and larger ones.
In the AR15 platform pressure and bolt thrust are the big holdups. My AR15 A2 with a 20" barrel, 68 grain Hornady match handloads trajectory wise performs much like my 6MM ARC with a 16" barrel with 105 grain Hornady match out to 600 yards. The wind becomes the problem for the 5.56. The drift in more than twice the 6MM ARC,
Not sure if I didn’t catch it but were all zeroed with the 55gr or did you zero each bullet weight before shooting them? Appreciate the content and keep ‘em coming 💪🏻
Awesome video! I also use a 36yd zero. Tho when training I only have 100 yds n in to work with But I’d love to see how a 16” 1/9 twist unsuppressed n 1/7 twist unsuppressed differ with just common 55gr 5.56 I think it world represent most of the viewers setups. Maybe I’m wrong but would still like to see the difference. Great vids keep up the great work!
You might try 50/200 yd zero. You will be within your group size for elevation from muzzle to 250 yards, and only -3moa (-9") at 300. Plus you will be hitting with in an inch of what your sights are on from 25 to 200 yds (not plus 3 or minus 3).
He did another video today, using 50/200 with and without a suppressor... wonder where he got the idea? It works for most 223/556 ammo unless you are using a pistol length barrel...@@bigz5262
I think another cool idea would be to zero with a certain bullet and than shoot out to 300 with 55, 62, and 77gr to show the margin of error. From personal experience I competed in a competition while in the Marine Corps and we zeroed with 62 gr m855, but during the steel shooting segment of the competition we were given 77gr mk262 so that we didn’t damage the steel targets. We had to shoot out to 500 and the zero change was surprisingly not very much. This was with a 100yd zero though. With a 36 you would probably see a drastic change
Have seen gunsandgear doing reviews where he runs from 45 to 77 grains. They print all over the place. Sometimes the very same projectile from various suppliers. Sub moa to 4 moa in same rifle. But I think this guy is talking zero, or center of group impacts for various zero. That said, the other channel's center grouping was not similar from same rifle, same zero, same distance.
Did you re-zero for each round at 36yds before shooting the test? Is there any appreciable difference between a rifle zeroed at 36yds with 55g and then shooting 77g with no change to the scope?
These videos are so practical!!! Why is no one else doing this???? You deserve millions of subscribers!
Couldn’t said it better…this should be a college course prerequisite in merica..🇺🇸
Agreed. These are the types of videos that are truly helpful and really explain all of these ideas.
You might like Jim's Goon Life. It's not quiet as data heavy but it's good too.

He has done a video on a 25/300, 50/200 and 100 yd zero. From zero to 200 a 50 yard zero is pretty consistent, but once you reach out past 200 the bullet drop is significant.
@@blahblahblah7554 He did the tests and 36yd zero was better. 36/300 yd zero is superior.
@@nickadkins7765 depends.. if you’re looking to be a surgical shooter, 50 is the way to go. If you wanna make hits at 300/400 then 36 is superior

@@IkfNorCalChamp yes they seem to have been not very accurate at the distance he shot but next time you go out & shoot them say at 700 yds you will see that they will shoot better than the 55g fmj’s or 62g , at least that’s what I see in my rigs because of the higher bc of the 77g . Your rifle will ultimately tell you if it likes them or not .
Another video giving the best info on this topic
Dude, your videos are just the best. Super practical and you're obviously a really smart guy but you don't insult your audience and show it off. There's so much banter on the internet about this cartridge in that cartridge being better, but if you want to know what a cartridge does just play with a ballistic calculator. There's no best cartridge, just a bunch of trade-offs and you have to figure out what's best or what you want to do.
I’d absolutely love see this same testing n 7.6whew….especially from a 16” 1/10”….but you’ve got my 5.56 juices goin so I’m gonna fire my ol carbine range model with the compass in the stock rn….lokk out black Bart!
You have done an excellent job answering the deep dive questions I've had pertaining to balistic variables. Thanks so much, excellent content
Is like going to class. Whip out the notebook and a pen. Focus, this guy drops knowledge.
Great presentation of commonly used bullets. Shows people the outcomes of what to expect.
Thanks for the data! Great info to share.
Awesome video bro. I personally don’t like using 55 grain ammo. I could never get a good group. I have a 16” 1/7 twist barrel on my range rifle. And it seems to favor 62 grain more than anything. I’ve shot heavier loads & I wish I could shoot more of it to work the barrel in more but man that stuff is kinda expensive. So if I buy anything over 62 grains it usually goes to storage.
Your dinner fantastic content. I wish you had the channel growth you should have, but people seem to watch videos with humor instead of actual content practicality....
You are doing such great work! This has fast become my favorite gun channel. Highly informative and relatable. I do envy those wide Open spaces and Long ranges you get to shoot.
Great info !
It went as expected but great to see it all at once.
Another great video! I would love to see the same set of videos with 6.5 CM, 7.62x51 (.308), 300 AAC and 22-250.
300 AAC (Zero) - ua-cam.com/video/yVQH3hEG17Q/v-deo.html
300 AAC (SUB) - ua-cam.com/video/OwE1C6M77ks/v-deo.html
300 AAC (Long Range) - ua-cam.com/video/7c0v6zfyozY/v-deo.html
Always informative and your show me way of teaching is a neat way to learn
So awesome that you're doing this series! Literally what I commented about last week lol
Interesting, informative and well presented video 👍
I'd like to see you make your own cartridges with the exact same grain and brand of powder. Of course with different bullet weights.
good content worth twice the price.
m193 out a 20" all-day baby.
52gr hpdt, Vmax handlo🎉
Great work, I really appreciate your videos. Keep at it!
Love the video man, one of the most underrated channels on UA-cam. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on a 42yd 300 zero with a 16in upper running 55gr 5.56 with a height over bore of 2.79in, ran it through a ballistic table and it was only +3.5in over point of aim at 150yds and a drop of -2.85in below point of aim at 300yds.
I’m digging the mullet videos, too! What calculator are you using?
Another great video! Informative data.. 😎 👍🏻👍🏻
Been a subscriber for some time now and I love your channel. Thank you for the great content!
Love the straight forward info. Ever do anything for 9 mm pistols im here for it.
Bullet weight are given, but velocities information would've been nice because these effect your bullet drop over the varying distances.
Very valuable info. Thanks for sharing.
I think 36/300 zero is great for this test (bullet weight zeros will be most pronounced at these distances) but a video at 50/200 and 100 zero’s would be greatly appreciated 🫡
I was literally just deciphering this in my mind 2 minutes ago because of an optic I have coming which is set up for 62g reticle. Griffin armament 1x8
Thanks man!
The bullet weight didn’t seem to make that big of a difference but it’s still noticeable
Bro, I just found you, and this is some of the best content out there. I've been desperately trying to find zeros for my suppressed 11.5 and 12.5 that I solely run 75/77gr. I have a suppressed 16" and run 55gr because it's easy with my bdc optics. However, trying to figure out holds, zeros, etc, when mixing ammo, get confusing. Unfortunately, I only have a 100yd range. I'm actually looking at property solely to shoot distance and make a training ground on.
If your barrel is a 1-7 twist, it is going to effect the heavier bullets in a negative way. A 1-8 will help dramatically with heavier bullets and is something to be explored. The group will tighten up.
Just re subscribed. 36 yrd is what my 11.5 and 12.5 are set to. Thanks
Thanks!
I’m going to keep on asking for a 50yd zero video, but these are great videos
Great testing Buddy
Awesome video!! Next time you do these. You should use different color tape for each bullet weight. Or if your doing different things. It will really show it better. And use wider cardboard so you don't shoot off target.
Great video! Thanks.
Awesome video. You are exploring the concept of maximum point blank range in the common vernacular. Looks like all would work just fine on a fairly large target to 300. I prefer 77s personally.
Great video! I found that the 5.56 cartridge performs much better for varmints with lighter projectiles. The increased velocity reduces the time of flight, offsetting the increased ballistic coefficient of the heavier projectile.
As far an AR gas gun combat sight in, I use 50 yards.
Just getting into the AR rifles and your videos are an amazing help, thank you!
You truly do an amazing job with these videos thanks and would love to see some more silencer stuff
I was kinda surprised at the 100yd group out of the 55gr. It was tighter than i thought it would be out of a 1/7 twist barrel. Thanks for the info. Cheers
Another subject I was wondering about between the bullet weights and their impact. Your doing a great job here too! Subscribed a few days ago.
No mountains, but a little more mullet.🇺🇸
Nice work, much appreciated.
Excellent. Thank you.
I feel like they should play yours and DeltaThirtyFour videos on Sundays at Benning.
Another great video. I'd be curious about the velocities at 300 yards, to calculate the terminal ballistics and energy on target. I get the best accuracy with 77g, but this video makes me think that 55g might be as good or better, if it can still get the job done.
well 55gr will cerainly be a lot cheaper to run and train.
@@cosmoch Definitely.
Get 3 different colored dots in your next test if you have 3 different bullets
This makes me think we are dealing with the wrong caliber. I would like to see larger calibers tested the same way and see what you come up with. I am excited to see some rifle companies going to 6mm cartridges and larger ones.
In the AR15 platform pressure and bolt thrust are the big holdups. My AR15 A2 with a 20" barrel, 68 grain Hornady match handloads trajectory wise performs much like my 6MM ARC with a 16" barrel with 105 grain Hornady match out to 600 yards. The wind becomes the problem for the 5.56. The drift in more than twice the 6MM ARC,
This is another outstanding video in the series. Thank you.
Id like to see this with a 1/8 twist barrel. See if theres an appreciable difference
Great testing!
For the algorithm
Your channel kicks ass bro
Love your stuff man, keep up the great work!
Not sure if I didn’t catch it but were all zeroed with the 55gr or did you zero each bullet weight before shooting them? Appreciate the content and keep ‘em coming 💪🏻
Awesome video! I also use a 36yd zero. Tho when training I only have 100 yds n in to work with But I’d love to see how a 16” 1/9 twist unsuppressed n 1/7 twist unsuppressed differ with just common 55gr 5.56
I think it world represent most of the viewers setups. Maybe I’m wrong but would still like to see the difference. Great vids keep up the great work!
You might try 50/200 yd zero. You will be within your group size for elevation from muzzle to 250 yards, and only -3moa (-9") at 300. Plus you will be hitting with in an inch of what your sights are on from 25 to 200 yds (not plus 3 or minus 3).
He did that in his video last year. But his results are going to be different than yours unless he’s running the same setup
He did another video today, using 50/200 with and without a suppressor...
wonder where he got the idea? It works for most 223/556 ammo unless you are using a pistol length barrel...@@bigz5262
Phenomenal explanation. You deserve a lot more subs than you have.
Great video. Thank you.
High quality content.
Keep up the great work!
Great video. Thanks for the data
Thank you
I think another cool idea would be to zero with a certain bullet and than shoot out to 300 with 55, 62, and 77gr to show the margin of error.
From personal experience I competed in a competition while in the Marine Corps and we zeroed with 62 gr m855, but during the steel shooting segment of the competition we were given 77gr mk262 so that we didn’t damage the steel targets. We had to shoot out to 500 and the zero change was surprisingly not very much. This was with a 100yd zero though. With a 36 you would probably see a drastic change
Have seen gunsandgear doing reviews where he runs from 45 to 77 grains. They print all over the place. Sometimes the very same projectile from various suppliers.
Sub moa to 4 moa in same rifle. But I think this guy is talking zero, or center of group impacts for various zero.
That said, the other channel's center grouping was not similar from same rifle, same zero, same distance.
Another outstanding vid. Thank you for making these.
Did you re-zero for each round at 36yds before shooting the test? Is there any appreciable difference between a rifle zeroed at 36yds with 55g and then shooting 77g with no change to the scope?
This series of videos is such great content. Thanks for what you are doing. Good stuff!!
