Agreed, I noticed his groups are all over the place. Accomplished shooters always makes the same mistake/s.

Its an excellent piece of firearm equipment for sure

Yeah they are I'm not sure why he did a video of shooting FMJ out of a barrel that wasn't designed to shoot junk ammo. Builds a replica of a designated marksman rifle and can't even shoot some black hills otm rounds like what would be used in real life.

Thank you! I don't pay attention to the down votes, most are just fan boys

I also had a bad experience with the 18 inch rifle length FN. Poor accuracy and reliability.

I have come to learn so much over the last summer, i do not ever buy ammo anymore ha ha its so much easier to just handload em and tune em to my rifle.

You mean "piqued" but the result is the same. And, yes, reloading highly recommended if you shoot either for accuracy or repetitively. .223's are painful due to brass recovery.

I have been shooting the same 77 grain load for about 2 years now, 22.6 grains of IMR8208 and a 77 grain bullet. Its strange some days I get great accuracy with multiple five round groups and other days it doesn't seem as such. I am gonne run a proper ladder test this upcoming month I may post an updated video documenting my experience.

I thought I misunderstood that myself.

No, he did say he shot those at 50 yards. With a match trigger, match grade barrel, custom hand loads, optic and a rest that blows! This kid can't shoot for shit!

Yes you heard him right if I was white oak I'd be forcing him to take this video down.

Ill look into what my recorded velocities were, those loads that turned out to be the most accurate are running about 2650 for both my Sierra and NOsler 77s with IMR8208 and Varget.

Since this video I have learned a lot about accurate hand loads. Running a ladder test on this rifle showed me that for 55 grain bullets, around 25 to 25.6 grains of IMR8208 with a velocity of about 3050 FPS shoots very tight. I am shooting 55 grain Blitzkings into about .5 MOA when I do my part. For heavier bullets 2700 -2650 seems to be the sweet spot 75s and 77s. I recently purchased 100 ELD-M .223 73 grn bullets to test. I have had great luck with their .264 143 and 140 grain cousins so ill be testing them this weekend on a ladder test.

Correct, I and several others have said as much. Black Hills MK262 mod 1, or 77gr IMI Razor Core mod 1. Why test a great Barrel with junk ammo?

SOunds like your rifle likes that bullet

Yea seems too

I actually replaced it last year for a Daniel defense mk12 barrel. But she shot great while I had her! I considered getting another barrel from white oak but considering my experience with them I wanted to try someone new. Daniel defense had a deal going at the time like 50 bucks off If I remember correctly.

@@89tonstar thanks. Been looking at them and they seem worth the money.

I have been shooting Sierras 55 grain game king FMJ and it shoots about a minute.

Mmmm I think it has to be the load itself that is crap. My Barrel really does not like superformance powder. With 75 grain TAP It was shooting about 1 MOA. However HOrnadys 140 grain 6.5 HPBTs shoot sub .5 MOA out of my Savage 12

might be, i dont have a single gun that shoots those loads well

Sorry for the delay on the reply I have been looking at my comments lately. Its an 18 inch White Oak Armament Barrel. Over the last year it has really broken and is a tight shooter, even when its hot. I suggest at least 18 inches to anyone wanting to build a accuracy AR15. For a battle rattle, 16 inches is almost preferable.

And it's spelled Wylde
