Can we see some gel tests from the AAC 77gr and/or 75gr?

@BuffRANGE Жыл бұрын

You can watch Mr GunsNgear's AAC 77gr OTM or any of the various other 77gr SMK gel tests online. To be clear 77gr SMK (Sierra Match King) is a MATCH/precision round first, and any wounding benefits you see are nice to have not a guarantee. If you sift through a lot of the data you'll see inconsistencies in the neck the 77gr round exhibits in tissue. You will see very similar results here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7RlobZjtqrciYU.html The 75gr bullet AAC uses is the Hornady T2 bullet. The same as the 8126N.see a gel test from Hornady's site or from Andrew here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNxdrdOHtJ7Ienk.html

Maybe it’s just me but the AAC stuff seems under loaded? Or maybe I’m just used to the hotter stuff made for shorter barrels 😂

@BuffRANGE Жыл бұрын

It's definitely slower than the 8126N, however it was right in line with the Hornady Frontier. The 8126N I have is older and pre-dates all of this 223 Wylde chamber stuff and the 2017 era dialing back of 5.56 ammo. Could they push these faster? Most certainly, but I am curious with their loading at what point accuracy will degrade.

What do you think about this vs the hornady tap t1 75gr? I bought the hornady black 223 75gr which is the same as the tap t1. At the time I thought it was the tap t2, would it be worth it to switch to the psa 75gr t2 or hornady frontier 75gr from now on?

At what velocity does 5.56 start to fragment/explode on impact? I thought it was around 3000 fps

@brodyscarlett5527 Жыл бұрын

Depends on the bullet design, but the rule of thumb is roughly 2500fps. On HP/OTM rounds, it'll fragment at lower velocities

@noneyabiz8225 Жыл бұрын

@@brodyscarlett5527 I was kinda thinking that or a little higher so why would anyone run a barrel shorter than 14 inches unless they have a dedicated "hot" round for it. It seems that going shorter/slower defeats the bullet design. Just seems wiser to get a heavier bullet with more ass behind it like a 300BO or a 7.62x39 if one wants to run shorter than a 14 inch barrel

Does anyone have any knowledge on the 75 grain compared to the 77 in terms of terminal damage on a flesh target? …. Im trying to figure out which round to stock up on for “all-purpose” defense, hunting, etc. …. 75 grainers are cheaper, but are the 77 any better?

@BuffRANGE Жыл бұрын

So everything I've read says that 77gr SMK priority was precision/accuracy, and any terminal effectiveness was a by product with no guarantee. This is why sometimes the 77gr SMK has short necks and massive damage, and other times longer necks. The 75gr bullet from the resources provides equal to and or better than the ideal terminal performance of the 77gr SMK. TL:DR shoot them both, stock the one that's more accurate in your guns, but I think the 75gr performs better.

@@BuffRANGE Thanks for the great response, I appreciate that! ..I'll try em both, but leaning towards the 75 for stocking up on because that seems to be such a great bullet for that kind of pricetag. Its so awesome that AAC is producing this.

75gr is generally better than 77gr OTM from a pure terminal ballistics perspective. It is a bit more consistent. However, the 77gr TMK are far superior to either.
