This expert-level analysis details the terminal ballistics of IMI's 77-grain OTM 5.56mm ammunition, often considered a clone of the Mark 262. Fired from a 10.5-inch barrel into ballistic gelatin, the ammunition demonstrated significant fragmentation and a substantial temporary stretch cavity, achieving an average velocity of 2367 FPS. The test highlights its performance characteristics, including deep penetration, while cautioning against its use if over-penetration is a primary concern.

This video compares 168gr Sierra Match King (SMK) and Hornady Match bullets for the .308 Winchester using a new Krieger barrel. Reloads with IMR 4895 powder were tested. The SMK significantly outperformed the Hornady Match in this specific barrel, with SMK groups averaging around 0.4 inches while Hornady groups were larger. This highlights barrel preference for specific bullet types.

This video is a follow-up to a previous installment on the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, addressing viewer questions and comments.

This video details a 6.5 Creedmoor load development for a Thompson Center Compass rifle, comparing IMR 4451 and Hodgdon H4350 powders with 142gr Sierra Match King bullets. Both powders yielded accurate results, with H4350 achieving a slightly tighter 0.481-inch group at 100 yards compared to IMR 4451's best of 0.664 inches. The testing emphasizes precise brass preparation and consistent reloading techniques for optimal ballistic performance.

This video details a reloading project for .308 Win using 175gr Sierra Match King bullets and IMR 4064 powder, aiming to replicate Federal Gold Medal Match performance. Testing involved a load ladder from 42.0 to 42.8 grains in a JP Supermatch barrel, with both suppressed and unsuppressed firing. Case capacity differences between brass types were highlighted as a critical factor for pressure management, especially with military brass. While accuracy was generally disappointing, the best group achieved was 0.902 inches unsuppressed at 42.4 grains.

This video continues an accuracy test series for the 224 Valkyrie rifle caliber. It focuses on testing different weights of Sierra Match King bullets (69gr, 77gr, and 90gr) with two popular rifle powders: IMR 8208 XBR and Hodgdon Varget.
