150gr fmj is plinking/training ammo. The 125gr black tip or 110gr SST is only a few cents more a round so you can train with your defensive ammo without breaking the bank. Huge benefit because you get to run your gun with your "real" ammo so you know it's reliable, and you don't have to worry about zero shifts between ammo types.
Surprisingly I still haven’t seen anyone do a thorough gel test on the 220 gr black tip. AAC included them in their rapid fire gel test video they did on several calibers but was difficult to get any real idea of performance. Honestly surprised no one has a video on it.
It was $12 a box when i got some recently which is cheaper than steal 7.62x39 where im at. Was a bit firebally in my 10.5 but if anything its great plinking ammo and if you reload good brass to make a more desirable load.
Love to see more AAC videos. Haven't bought from them yet, as I still default to Winchester for my 5.56, but really considering switching over to AAC, especially because of their Saber Blade black tips
funnily enough AAC 150gr also groups terribly (6 MOA) out of my honey badger barrel, but their 110gr vmax load and their 220gr subsonic load groups much better, around 1.5-2 MOA.
Great video. I'm curious how much the barrel twist rate is affecting the accuracy. From what I've seen 150 makes fine plinking for practice ammo, but isn't very nice for tight groups. I'd like to see these same tests done with Barnes Tac black tips if you can. Thanks again!
The market really needs a 110gr FMJ that has the profile of the 125s FMJs. The only commonly available 110gr I’m familiar with is meant for M1 carbines.
@@mantis_toboggan_md haha I forgot to change my account. I haven't had any issues with these but my barrels are slower 1:7 and 1:8 twist. What twist rate is your barrel?
