69 & 77 Grain AAC 5.56 Ammo Test ACCURACY & VELOCITY otm smk bthp

This video details accuracy testing of a 16-inch Bear Creek Arsenal side-charging 50 Beowulf upper at 100 yards. The instructor evaluates three loads: a factory 350-grain Underwood FMJ, a milder 300-grain Hornady FTX handload, and a max-charge 300-grain Hornady FTX handload using 'Little Gun' powder, aiming for a hunting load. The testing reveals significant differences in group sizes between the loads.

This video documents the first shots of a custom 16-inch .308 bolt-action rifle build. It features a Howa 1500 action, Woox American chassis, Bushnell Match Pro scope, and a BNT SRBS762 suppressor. Initial accuracy testing shows promising results for a hunting-style rifle.

This video compares the ballistic performance of M855 62gr FMJ and a 60gr Nosler Partition handload fired from AR-15 platforms with 10.5-inch and 16-inch barrels into Clear Ballistics gel. The instructor notes significant differences in wound channel and penetration based on barrel length and ammunition type, particularly highlighting the tumbling effect of M855 from the shorter barrel and the expansion characteristics of the Nosler Partition.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides a practical, albeit unconventional, comparison of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The expert demonstrates varying levels of terminal performance, from the .22LR's significant splitting to the .45 ACP's complete watermelon fragmentation, highlighting the differences in hydraulic shock and expansion. The test utilizes specific hollow-point ammunition, including Speer Gold Dot, Aguila Super Maximum, and Underwood XTP, showcasing their effects.

This video provides a practical, safety-conscious comparison of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating high authority and expertise, details the testing methodology and results, emphasizing the risks of ricochet. None of the tested pistol calibers fully penetrated the concrete block's second wall, suggesting their limitations for certain penetration scenarios.

This review of the Taurus TX22 .22 LR pistol details its features, including a 16+1 capacity and excellent trigger. While initial testing with CCI Mini-Mags was flawless, subsequent tests with various ammunition types revealed cycling issues and culminated in a catastrophic failure. The failure was attributed to a squib load followed by a second shot, causing a barrel bulge and ruptured casing, highlighting potential ammunition inconsistencies. The review provides a detailed look at disassembly and damage assessment.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics provides an experimental comparison of three popular rimfire calibers: .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR, using cantaloupes as ballistic mediums. The host, an experienced shooter, demonstrates the distinct terminal ballistics of each round, highlighting how bullet construction and velocity affect target interaction. The comparison offers practical insights into the performance differences between these rimfire cartridges on soft tissue simulants.
