I think if you get off that led sled and shoot with a rest and rear bag your groups will close up a lot! I have 2 inch groups at 500 yards with a $400 ruger 6.5 cm with Hornady factor ammo. The rifle has to have recoil. Just my thoughts.
Thanks for the information. Good video. I just ordered some Lapua brass . Large primers for 308 Winchester. I plan on using this technique and compare with Norma brass.
Hello and thanks for watching. The reason for shooting at 200 yards is that sometimes two groups will appear very similar at 100 yards and only show differences at longer ranges. In addition, some bullets need to "settle down" and only show their true potential at longer ranges. Having said that, longer ranges also increase the likelihood of shooter error creeping into the results. Secondly, regarding MOA, 1 MOA = 1.047" at 100 yards. That calculation is correct (unless I mispoke in the video).
Hello from Russia! What can you say about ARX copper-polymer bullets from Inceptorammo? We do not manufacture such bullets in Russia. I see that this company stopped Instagram and Facebook a year ago. I don't know, the company must have closed down. All the tests on RU-vid are from last year or even earlier. I'm interested in this bullet in terms of economics. We have the 366TKM, 9.6x53 Lancaster, 345TK calibers. They are made because of legislation. Sold as shotgun cartridges, not rifles. Because of the monopoly, only one company makes the cartridges and prices are very expensive ~0.7 usd per cartridge. At a time when a gross cartridge of 5.45 or 7.62 costs ~0.15 usd. We manufacture bullets at home from lead and apply a polymer jacket. ARX bullets are interesting as an analog.
Hello and thank you for watching. I believe the ARX bullets and ammo are still being made. I just bought a box of ARX interceptors from Cabela's and will be doing one of our PAC-T test videos in the spring (the clear ballistic gelatin does not seem to act the same when it is very cold). I am curious of their performance for a defense round. Take care.
@@oscarwide That is a difficult call. While they are being made now, I am not sure how long they will continue to be made. If a person could get a pretty good stock of these bullets, it might be worth it. But still keep the ability to load lead bullets just in case.
I think your first load is the best of the three especially since the SC and es of velocity was, but I think the best would be around 42.3 based off the velocity Plato on your graph at the beginning. Erik Cortina is doing a new series where he starts there, then does seating depth, then does node testimg above and below what his first chosen node is. I will take low es and SD in velocity over group size if I can find it because seating depth will fix group sizes. I'm fixing to do a load for this same bullet and IMR 4166 and IMR 4895.
Thanks for watching and posting. I think you will like our subsequent videos on this same topic... but this time, we are working up a load for the 5.56
