This right here is an underrated comment

Lol when you built your own AR...you are the manual

I would bet 1/9 is second most popular.

And 1/7 burns out the barrel much quicker than 1/9, which is perfect for m855 62 grain. Twist rate is determined by length of the bullet, not the weight. “Green Hill formula”

@@GTFBITK Interesting, cuz when I was shopping around AR, I definitely saw way more 1/8 than 1/9.

@@gsg971 Good to know. I wasn't aware of that. Always thought it's determined by the weight.

My 10.5 AR from PSA is 1/7 while my 16 inch is 1/8

Ooooo! Good idea! I will add that to our Smythbuster list!

I typically go with high grain soft point for defense and hunting

CORRECT!

Right lol, I have a small pile now of .223 boxes that only have 1-3 boxes per load

IMO the retailers are the scalpers. They can keep it till they get their mind right.

@@robertchichitano3209 nailed it. 👌

Same as target ammo with a painted tip and an extra 100 fps

Soft points are even better tho 😉

@@literallynobody1515 IMI Razor core is the same thing. Loaded to the same specs. I think Midway USA had some, the last time I checked, although I got mine from SG Ammo.

@@VCBird6 Except it’s not lol Fragmenting FMJ does WAY more damage. Unless you are talking about a short barrel or very long range were the velocity is under what’s required for fragmentation.

@@cplinstructor Might wanna check video of what soft points do to squishy targets vs FMJ. The only and the ONLY thing that FMJ can do better than soft points (and only out of a rifle length barrel and within 50 yards or so) is defeat level III+ body armor. Otherwise, soft point expands, yaws, shatters, and fragments even BETTER than FMJ, depending on bullet construction.

@@VCBird6 I would suggest that you look at actual gel tests. I would agree with you for any other caliber but not 5.56

Lmfao tru

Or soft point 🤦‍♂️

@Joe John exactly haha. And why I run all Criterion barrels.

Why 223 wylde and not 5.56 Just curious

@@masonjohns208 because 223 wylde runs both 223 and 556 really well. 556 runs both but 223 performance suffers slightly through a 556. hence the 223 wylde being created. IMO they should all be 223 wylde but i guess it is more expensive

@@masonjohns208 also 1:8 twist is the sweet spot... you can run 55 to 77 without any issues

Alot went unsaid , he mainly focused on 556 , 223. Weight is gonna be different for the larger or smaller rounds.

Doesn't work if you're fighting terrorists that wants die they're going to leave their fallen comrade their

@Joe John is that a response to me or Glory bound I also forgot to add to my response earlier normal armies they have Medics which are trained to treat Battlefield wounds and if that's their job than being taken out of the fight

Speed kills.

@@1945tigers what about crack?

Their CS is hot garbage.

East Tennessee is praying for yall and yes a few of us are fighting like Hell.

In Michigan you can use most any rifle including AR platform rifles. Just make sure the magazine can only HOLD 5 rounds or less. Rule is 5 in the magazine, 1 in the chamber.

@@phprofYT We in kanada have a 5 round limit as well. 3, in shotguns. Just that some "weapons" have been deemed unsuitable for us peons to own. Stay free!

The People’s Republic of Kanadastan. We will fight like hell to reverse this Red Tide. (Not to be confused with the Crimson Tide. That’s a whole different story. )

@@ragnarlothbrok9133 Thanks, Ragnar. Just my HO, but I consider it more of a "pink" tide. LOL

No

@@DinoNucci YES!!!

Unless you're shooting it out of an SBR or AR pistol, especially with a barrel less than 10.5 inches, then you're just poking 5.56 holes. Soft points fix that problem

"if it's good enough for the enemy" is a silly wall to hide behind - Hague convention outlaws the use of more effective expanding bullets in major conflicts, so I'll definitely take any advantage that I can (especially ballistic tips!)

@@BanjoZZZ if you're running 556 in a barrel that short, the only thing that needs holes in it is you.

@@BanjoZZZ I get 2700+ FPS from my 10.5” and that is enough to fragment M193…

Twist doesn’t affect accuracy.

@@coreymoyers it doesn’t? Well, he said it again in this video ha.

@@lucasblanchard47 it can if you don’t have enough or too much, but the wording wasn’t semantically correct on the first one I watched. This one is.

@@Jezus42 ohhh ha

@@Jezus42 Nope, all that is the same in both videos, the only thing that changed was a typo in a bullet point later in the video.

This might help you. No chart needed. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocBzZ65_r5fJn5c.html

www.nrablog.com/articles/2017/3/how-to-pick-the-right-round-for-your-ar15-barrel/

I use Hornady frontier 75gr or 68gr BTHP it works great and it's cheap ($13.99 a box)

Be careful with soft points. Some but not all feed ramps will bang up soft points causing a failure or tip damage resulting in a slight decrease in accuracy

@@masonjohns208 that is a match round, not a defensive one

Many Leo’s use Hornady “tap” rounds(red tip) they don’t over penetrate and I think they are polymer tip? Idk perfect round for home defense scenario if you use an AR.

No. Just buy the shorter barrel and swap out or build a separate upper so you can have both in one rifle.

Look up dwell time. It's basically the time span when the bullet passes the gas port until it exits the barrel. Not enough dwell time equals not enough gas for proper bolt function. You could always enlarge the gas port if you want to go that route.

Cut it down??? Good grief….step away from the gun and the saw.

If your barrel is less than 16” it changes the legality of it. You need to by a dedicated AR pistol lower to use the shorter barrels while staying legal. Some states restrict AR pistols and currently the ATF is trying very hard to limit their availability and scope.

@@cleetismcdougall5425 why😂😂?? It's too long.😂😂

I just read a lengthy article based on tests that said overall, soft points expanded reliably to about .45 inches, even in barrel lengths under 10 inches.

223 Wylde is a hybrid designed to use either 5.56 or .223. The weight will depend on twist rate mostly. A faster (1/7) twist will normally stabilize the heavier (68-77) bullets better and a slower (1/9) will generally stabilize the lighter (55-62) better. Although more uncommon a 1/8 twist will generally stabilize them all. That said, you will have to buy different ammunition and just try them to see what your barrel prefers. But those should get you a good starting point. Hope this is what you were looking for.

@@christoperdevore3617 Thanks. Very well done and thorough reply. I knew the answer, but was just a little disappointed it was not addressed in the video and thought it would've been good for others who may not know. But, you addressed it well here with your reply.

@@patricjft well, thank you very much for the kind and hopeful accurate critique. I try to to keep my pie hole shut on topics I’m unfamiliar with but try to help if I feel I can. Your feedback is much appreciated.

1:7 twist can stabilize 50-80gr also stabilization and twist are more affective by built length not weight.

No

Not true. Most 5.56 loads are equivalent to .223 Remington proof loads. Show me any .223 that has blown up with a factory loaded 5.56. That said, I only purchase 5.56 pressure ammo and all my guns have 5.56 chambers.

@@dbmail545 Look pal, I'm aware that the .223 only barrel isn't common these days, but they exist . 5.56 has an extra thousandth of an inch in diameter over .223.

Did you even try to watch the video?

It’s all about chamber pressure, they both use a .224 bullet

Yes. You can commonly find soft point in 62gr, though I'm sure there is more variety available. From cheap plinking 35gr to 77gr match, they can be had in open tip, hollow point, and polymer tip.

No. It will be .223 then

@@AndyE30 no.

Ur mom

@@DinoNucci 🙄👍

Reread the title of the video, it says rifle not pistol

Apparently your an amateur if you think .556 isn't useful after 200.

@@jakewolynski5239 pick a better round if you want to shoot at those distances. 5.56 isn't going to be shining very well after 200 in a 16in barrel or less as most people use. 300 if you use a 20in. After that better off using a .308/6.5creed or many others

I haven’t found this to be true. M193 and M855 have noticeably more pressure than 223 when I shoot them.

@@Libertarian_Neighbor yeah same here it’s not much but I can feel a slight difference in shooting .223’s and 5.56

Pretty much the same. Just measured differently.

If you reload or use hot ammo it's not the same

Where did you get that silly idea? Are you in Russia? I have heard that CIP doesn't distinguish between 5.56 and .223 but you are looking at higher pressures in a looser chamber.
