AAC 75gr Sabre Black Tip Simulated FBI Barrier Test

[@chrisn9018]

As a law enforcement officer I have seen the results of firing 5.56 (bonded round) through a car door, and the suspects skin had very similar burn marks as your stage 3 test showed.

[@chandlerwilliams9509]

I would love to see you test AACs 70gr TSX load, and there 220gr 300blk sabre load as well.

[@TheKalkara131]

I may try to test them out. Probably won't do an FBI test on them though. These are expensive to do.

[@chandlerwilliams9509]

@@TheKalkara131nobody has tested those yet

[@LKaramazov]

I wonder how it would compare to 75 gr AAC OTM. Good video!

[@Yetified_Mayhem]

That's the test want to see too!

[@hunterwalls316]

75 gr BTHP

[@paladin556]

I have both. I don't have gel or chrono. The point of impact is the same on both rounds. At least the same for my sorry shooting. 10 rounds at 50 yards is one big ragged hole with both. If I recall correctly. The black tip was about 1/4 higher and right than the OTM. But well within my ability. At 100 yards I couldn't see any difference. With a 20 PSA CHF upper not free floated barrel. Again if I recall correctly they grouped about an inch and a half at 100 yards. I am not a precision shooter. I have friends that let me shoot their rifles, they get sub moa groups and when I shoot theirs I get over an inch groups. So I bought the 75 grain OTM for some gas gun matches. That is what I zero my rifles for. So I figured I would try out the black tip 75 grain and I was not disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised. I went with them based on numerous videos showing the chrono and gel tests.

You mean Boat Tail Hallow Point with the 75gr AAC. The 77gr is Open Tip Match (OTM).

[@LKaramazov]

@@TexasTeaHTX ah…… I always thought they were he same thing, but I’m still kind of a newbie.thanks!

[@caseysmith8831]

You put so much work into this. Thank you very much. It’s a very informative video

[@EC-mc7vg]

Pretty comprehensive testing, I appreciate it. I think the 75 grain Black Tip is a pretty solid performer from what this testing showed. And at 11 bucks a box it is hard to beat. at that price you can afford to "stockpile" a good bit.

[@Stonewallx39]

Thanks man, good stuff

[@TheSonOfJohn117]

Thanks for putting the time into this test. Excellent performance for the price.

[@dragongodXD]

Not FBI specific materials, aka. as the real world test. Lol Thanks for the testing and data. 👍

[@geneotrexler8246]

Good video 👍 Enjoyed stage 6 with the auto glass. Seems 75-77 grain 5.56 bullets are the pinnacle of that calibers development.

[@Nono-rh4lr]

Thank you. Can you test the three through 11.5" barrel length in bare gel? It would be interesting to see how much further they would go with less velocity.

[@deusvult6632]

Your tests are a good approximation of the FBI tests. Good job!

[@therealpatriotwolf8005]

Just the video I was looking for. Great and detailed review. Keep it up brother!

[@antoniopalmer7399]

Thanks for the test. I bought 300 rds..

[@jammbbs1688]

You can use a torch to clear up the outside of the gel

[@ddsharknads7782]

Great testing. Glad you put in the effort for us to see the results. I think it will be a fine performer. I'd like to see it tested from a shorter barrel however. The only thing I don't like about it, is the bullet isn't bonded. For the money though, I can forgive that.

[@kurttlethorup]

Interesting stuff, thank you!

[@JamesSmith-km2kl]

This review got me to sub. Thank you! Great video and I am sure a lot of effort went into it

[@Goinghot]

Thanks for putting in all the work for this! I just subscribed. I gotta say, after watching a few videos across channels I follow, I'm dissapointed in the velocities of this round from 16" barrels! I reload 75s and 77s and get better velocities than I've seen on YT.

[@TheKalkara131]

I'm no expert, but that doesn't surprise me. Most factory loads aren't at the high edge of what that caliber can handle. I bet you can handload just about any load faster than factory. I assume it's about liability and being too hot, risk of blowing up someone's gun

[@BLACKRIFLEREVIEWS]

Outstanding Test one of the best tests I've seen good job. I would like to see a test done with a 20" to 24" barrel the length the cartridge was designed for.

[@LifeSpringFarmsllc]

Good Job, I enjoyed your candor.....Well Done! It would be good to see the 300 BLK, ( I have not searched to see if you have already done one)....

[@hodog175]

Seeing how its not a bonded bullet I would expect it to struggle with steel and auto glass

[@MoonMoon-gu2ge]

I havent really branched out to any new flavors of 5.56 but I definitely think I might pick up some of this 75gr to play around with. Fucking wimmmmmby

[@Quixcilver7.62]

Has anyone tested enough of these through suppressors for jacket separation?

[@shadowwolf058]

This is some good info on these rounds but, why is she standing next to where the line of fire is happening? It looks like she's barely 10ft away.

[@Laury-kq5gf]

Would two pieces of plywood sandwiched around two reams of paper enough to stop a bullet?

[@TheKalkara131]

@@Laury-kq5gf depends on how much paper you use, and what caliber you're shooting at it. Others have done videos on how much paper to stop a bullet.

[@Yetified_Mayhem]

[@richardlahan7068]

AAC stands for Advanced Armament Company.

[@ItsMeRockyT]

You trolling or you think that is what it stands for?

[@richardlahan7068]

@@ItsMeRockyT That's what it's called on the PSA website but it says America's Ammunition Company on the box.

[@ItsMeRockyT]

Ok, I see the confusion. So the Advanced Armament Company is the AAC for the weapon parts, and the America's Ammunition Company is for the ammo. That is PSA's fault for your confusion. They probably thought they were being cool or clever having two AAC's. I'm not 100% certain, but most likely they did it because they fall under two different "Companies" for tax reasons, yet they wanted to keep AAC as a common name for marketing.

[@ShizawnSanders]

This would be good for inside the house self defense loadings. As a truck round? No. For a truck round to keep in your trunk or whatever i think the M855A1 is best. Not to be confused with M855. M855A1 will go through every barrier you had and penetrate at least 12". Plus the fragmentation is great for a round that will also go through whatever. At $2.50 a round its super expensive but you can train with something spicy and be prepared for that round so you don't have to waste money. Since you have a windshield it would be cool to see the M855A1 out of various barrel lengths like 12.5", 14.5", 16" and 20" through various barriers. When simulating the car door maybe add alot more material and then double that up to simulate a suspect behind cover of a car.

[@Faithfps]

What do you think of these vs the AAC 77gr OTM's? They're both the same price. I'll be testing them sometime soon out of an 11.5 but mainly just groupings, nothing as high tech as your tests.

[@TheKalkara131]

@@Faithfps I haven't tried them yet. I'm pretty sure I have some, just haven't put them in gel yet

[@allansmith9004]

For a defensive round I am pretty sure you want the round bleeding energy right away which theae all did extremely well. i am not overly concerned about over penetration, but i am concerned about ice picking straight thru like happened alot in irac and Afghanistan. Mainly because the indigenous people were not very thick and the green tip round takes so long to start tumbling or yawing. As for the temporary cavity you should have watched the videos before you spoke about them. All the rounds looked as violent as any 5.56 i can ever remember seeing. Since you were reusing the same gel for each round it became impossible for you or us to tell the damage once the video stopped. Just a small suggestion, maybe nwxt rime switch the gels around halfway through and you will have have as many shots in each, vs all on the one block, like in theae tests. Or not. Anyway you still did a good job and pretty informative.

I would like to see gel at 100 yards or so. While SD shootings are generally thought close in affairs, here in the boonies, its not unreasonable to reach out across a field. It also would have some Predictive value against the deer in the garden or fox (2 or 4 legged) in the henhouse. It might be fun to figure out the militiaman's gel testing, since were not Feebs.

[@RockIslandguy]

Why is the Fusion better? because it costs more??? Don't poopoo the AAC ammo just because they are able to put together ammo with very similar components for way less than our name brand companies.

[@TheKalkara131]

@@RockIslandguy I don't remember the reasons I had in mind when I made this video, but off the top of my head, federal fusion has a better track record, and it's a bonded soft point. They tend to stay together really well, going through various barriers
