PSA AR15 Accuracy Test

This comprehensive test evaluates nine different AR-15 barrels using ADI World Class 69gr Sierra MatchKing ammunition, a budget-friendly match option. The analysis, conducted by Preston Moore, utilizes advanced data collection methods including chronographs and shooter error sensors to measure group sizes, velocities, and consistency. The Seekins Precision 16" barrel emerged as the top performer, demonstrating the importance of barrel-ammo synergy even with budget-conscious choices.

This video features an expert-level accuracy test comparing budget and high-end AR-15 platforms. Instructor Elliott Delp analyzes whether a higher price point consistently correlates with superior accuracy, using MOA measurements to quantify performance. The findings suggest that factors beyond cost, such as ammunition and shooter skill, significantly influence group sizes.

This video details a lot-to-lot consistency test of Fiocchi 55gr M193 ammunition. The instructor found significant variations in accuracy and velocity between different lots, impacting performance. Testing was conducted at 100 yards using two different AR-15 barrels, a 20-inch Bear Creek Arsenal HBAR and a 14.5-inch Hodge barrel, with data collected via a Garmin chronograph and Mantis X10.

This video compares Fiocchi Range Dynamics and CCI Standard Velocity .22LR ammunition at 100 yards using a CZ 457 rifle. While both ammunitions are 40-grain lead round nose, the Fiocchi exhibited significant inconsistency and flyers, resulting in a larger average group size (2.23 inches) and mean radius (.73 MOA). CCI Standard Velocity, despite also having flyers, demonstrated better overall consistency with a slightly smaller average group size (2.21 inches) and a tighter mean radius (.66 MOA), making it the preferred choice for accuracy in this specific rifle setup.

This video compares the performance of CCI Standard Velocity and Norma Tac-22 .22LR ammunition at 100 yards using a Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle. The instructor emphasizes the importance of barrel cleaning between ammunition types to ensure consistent results. CCI Standard Velocity demonstrated superior accuracy with smaller group sizes, while Norma Tac-22 exhibited more flyers and inconsistency, particularly early in the testing phase.

This video evaluates the new Barnes Harvest Collection ammunition, comparing its performance and price against premium offerings from Hornady and Nosler. The presenter tests two rifle platforms, a Bergara B14 Squared in 6.5 PRC and a Bergara Premier Competition in 6.5 Creedmoor, using a chronograph to record muzzle velocities and assessing accuracy through five-shot groups. The Barnes ammo demonstrates competitive accuracy, particularly in the 6.5 Creedmoor, at a significantly lower price point than its high-end counterparts, suggesting it could influence market pricing.

This analysis details an uncommanded discharge event involving a Barrett MK22 (MRAD) sniper system. The rifle fired as the bolt was closed, with the shooter's finger off the trigger. The video highlights a potential mechanical failure, emphasizing the importance of firearm safety protocols and awareness of potential malfunctions even with professional-grade equipment. The expert assessment notes the shooter's high authority level and immediate identification of the safety issue.

This video details a critical safety failure involving an uncommanded discharge of a Barrett MK22 sniper rifle during a military training exercise. The footage, captured from a professional military end-user's perspective, shows the rifle firing as the bolt is manipulated, not the trigger. The expert assessment emphasizes the shock and frustration of the shooter, pointing to a potential mechanical defect and underscoring the paramount importance of firearm safety protocols.

This video from Trench Grenade critically analyzes an unintentional discharge event involving a Sig Sauer P320 during a holstering drill. Using high-speed and slow-motion footage, the channel highlights potential safety concerns with gear and technique, emphasizing the importance of proper firearm handling and holster selection. The analysis serves as a cautionary tale for firearm owners.
