This video details a comprehensive reloading experiment testing 19 different powders with the 75gr Hornady BTHP bullet in .223 Remington. The instructor aims to find a cost-effective path to replicating Mark 262 clone performance, analyzing group sizes and velocities for each powder charge. Several powders, including Hodgdon H322, Vitavouri N135, and AR Comp, showed promising accuracy, with AR Comp emerging as a potential top contender for further development.

This video details the process of reloading .223 Remington ammunition to clone the military's Mark 262 Mod 1 round, using 77gr Sierra MatchKing bullets. It explores the performance of Winchester StaBALL 6.5 powder, alongside established powders like Shooters World Match Rifle and Alliant Power Pro Varmint, in a new 20-inch White Oak Armament barrel. The instructor emphasizes caution with hot loads and provides detailed insights into powder selection, seating depth, crimping, and pressure signs.

This video details a ballistic gel test of IMI's 77gr OTM ammunition, a clone of the Mk 262, fired from a 10.5-inch barrel. The test aimed to assess performance despite the shorter barrel. The results showed significant temporary stretch cavity and fragmentation, with a penetration depth of 19.5 inches. While effective, the instructor notes the penetration might be too deep for some applications.
