Browning Buck Mark Contour URX Ammunition Test

[@johndilday1846]

I love the loader. I may have to get me one of those. Thanks for sharing.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks John! That loader is my favorite. The others I have work well too, but the ability to keep the spring compress without having to use your hand makes loading very easy.

Hey brother thanks for the shout out! I didn't even know you could get remington golden bullets in fancy 100rd packages, I always buy the big 1400rd bucket. lol.

Wow that is a sexy looking gun: And nice title screen! Hope you're well Tex, got all your Christmas shopping done?

[@texmexshoots]

Hey there Bud! Got all my shopping done. Now it's just getting ready to do all the cooking for Christmas. Hope you and your family are doing great!

[@Valorius]

@@texmexshoots Not a complaint in the world brother!

The love of 22LR! Sometimes they work in a Semi and sometimes they don't. Lol Herters is made by Winchester if i remember correctly. Seasoning the bore with the ammo helps. Great video

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks Joel! Yeah, 22 semi-autos are some of the most finicky pistols out there. I'm surprised the Herters did better than the Winchester since it is the same manufacture. But that just shows how picky 22's are with their ammo.

[@frankhinkle5772]

That was an interesting test. I acquired a S&W Model 63 4" in .22LR, and I'm experimenting on ammo with it. It seems to be more finicky than my other .22LR pistols and revolvers'.

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching Frank! The Model 63 is a beautiful revolver. I'm sure with enough experimentation you will find the 22lr loading it likes.

target crimp means higher pressure as crimp is deeper into lead and brass may expand more in chamber, my federal gold metal match 40 grain has a crimp but runs good, for each ammo I fully clean and lube Buckmark so one ammo doesn't get crud from the other one, all buckmarks are different in their condition depending ouners use and care of the gun, a light film of lube on slide may help, even a 22 lr will cook off lube as it gets hot and if you in a already hot environment

[@texmexshoots]

That makes sense. Thank you for the information. I keep my pistols cleaned and always have some lubrication on the springs/guide rod and slide rails. I do clean the barrel and chamber out. The last few years I've used the "patchworm" system since there is less chance of causing unnecessary wear while cleaning.

[@nicepojos8766]

Watching this video for the second time....still interesting and informative. Thanks. Any experience with Aguila (Super Extra or Pistol Match) and SK Pistol Match in this Buck Mark?

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching! I don't have any experience with the SK Pistol Match, but the Aguila Super Extra and Pistol Match do relatively well out of this Buckmark. Hope that helps!

[@Valorius]

man i love that chrono you got! The only thing mine ever says to me is "ERR"

[@texmexshoots]

I like her sweet voice. Just hope my wife doesn't get jealous 😄

[@shoot4fun663]

Hmmmmm? You would think the Browning ammo would do well in the Browning Buckmark?????

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching! I was surprised myself at how poorly it performed. Maybe I got a bad batch.

[@libra7624]

a well cared for, lubed and cleaned buckmark its usually the ammo

[@texmexshoots]

I agree with that assessment. Especially considering it shot all the other ammunition without any issues.

[@jmatthies1976]

What red dot set up is that?

[@texmexshoots]

Thanks for watching Joe! The red dot is a Burris Fastfire with the 3moa dot.

[@gregsmith8469]

What a freaking joke. A Browning pistol not able to function with Browning ammo, and you got it on video. Can one imagine if John M Browning were to view this video?

[@texmexshoots]

Yeah, it was quite frustrating. Turned my Buckmark into a single shot pistol. Maybe I got a bad batch? I also bought a bulk pack for a comparison I plan to do soon out of some rifles. Lets see if they do any better.

[@texmexshoots]

@boomstickrevenge That's what I had heard. But didn't know for certain.

[@813bam]

1085fps ammo is not really enough velocity to cycle a pistol. Some of the wax coated bullets will work, but copper plated usually will not cycle any pistol reliably. 1150 is about the minimum velocity to cycle reliability. You want to see good groups, reliable action, try Federal Gold match or Fed HV match. Most the ammo you had on hand is plinking, general use, hunting ammo. That firearm is a target gun that requires target ammo. Ex 1150-1200 fps match ammo. Anything 1250fps and more tends to spray groups like you saw in the video. BTW, you had a great group started with the 40gr CCI minimag, which surprised me. Keep up the video content!
