REVENUE IDEA - One thing you can do for revenue is sell your old shot targets, signed, dated, perhaps with a note as to the firearm & ammunition. To you they might just be trash to throw into the recycling. For a viewer they are an original part of the history of a favoured channel and would make a great novelty picture or poster, if not for the main living room then certainly for the office, shed, garage, mancave, etc., and postage & packing for a roll of paper is not time-consuming or challenging.

It’s honestly not a bad gun, quite heavy, but great hog medicine. Never tried the regular judge, as my colt anaconda in .45 colt with the potential to shoot .44 mag level loads and birdshot loads (seriously, they exist for .38 .44 .45 etc.) can fire everything the regular judge does and much more, except the useless ass .410 buckshot loads.

[@dk1480]

People should choose the most powerful caliber that they can shoot without practical speed and accuracy sacrifices. .380 acp and .38 special are the calibers that give you the least recoil while being significantly better than their less powerful cousins. I would feel confident in carrying .38

[@richb2229]

This was an awesome review for short range performance. It’s my experience that heavy 69 to 75 grain 5.56 bullets are used for hunting and for long range “targets” in far away places. 100 yds isn’t a long range rather 700 or 800 meters. A lot of this ammunition is very capable at these longer ranges and it would be interesting to see a comparison for what’s available today. Steel penetrators are good at what they do, short rang penetration of barriers. But they have limited use as far as hunting is concerned, especially since better bullets are available.

This is awesome, since this is the ammo I'm seeing around, a lot of IMI brand 77gr, M193, and M855. I did 2 gel tests with the 77gr loads from my 20" which is my go to rifle, and was impressed. Wish I had a camera, I would have shared that. Thanks for what you do Paul! Also, I found IMI's M193 is more accurate than other M193 loads out of my 20", 1 in 8 twist, HBAR rifle, and with their 77gr loads I actually was holding 1 moa groups! I think your groups may have been smaller if the target wasn't moving and if you had a better type of bullseye target, since when shooting groups the target makes a difference when you have a really good aiming point and sight picture, aim small miss small kind of thing. Also I have a 4x Brownells carry handle scope over my iron sights and that helps when seeing the true accuracy of a load, with iron sights you're naturally going to see a bigger group, and what you see is pretty consistent with when I use my irons.

My Wyndam Bushmaster with a 1/9" twist barrel would stabilize 77gr pills, but the groups were larger than my Sig with the 1/7" twist. 75gr seems about the heaviest pill that 1/9" twist likes.

[@j.p.4541]

1/8 twist rate is the sweet spot

[@zack9912000]

​@J. P. meh, I will stick with 1/7

Thanks for making the IMI 62 grain vs 77 grain video.

[@mattbrown5511]

Another quality, informative and entertaining video by Paul and the crew. Thank you all very much for the nonsense free presentation.

Whenever i hit that close to the X, i stop shooting, change targets, and save that one to show off to my friends.

It’s gonna be a good day

[@Nuclearwarhead357]

I feel like my mind is being read with some of these videos. Thanks Paul!

[@_JimS]

Great as usual Paul, thanks!

[@ColeDedhand]

This information is very useful to me since my neighborhood has a lot of roving gangs of cinder blocks and I wasn't sure that 5.56 would be enough to stop them.

[@darthhodges]

I would conclude that the IMI is not the best choice for a precision target or competition shooter. However, if it has an advantage it might be for defensive use or possibly hunting. More damage is better in both those applications and higher velocity (if the difference is significant to you) means more gas to cycle your weapon in sub-ideal conditions.

Great vid as always. Thank you sir.

[@bobhaehn5470]

Thank you sir! Another good presentation

[@ReubenOaks84]

My Colt M4 with 16" 1/7twist barrel really likes the IMI 62gr green tips and is very accurate. I believe every rifle has a preference and you have to shoot multiple different rounds to see what your rifle likes.

[@troy9477]

Nice. Looks like the 77 gr is the way to go. The Hornady 75 gr also did well. We can thank Black Hills for developing the MK262 load for the military.

[@johndaugherty4127]

You are the best, Paul and crew!

[@danielmacdonald8358]

Great video I've been wondering about getting some IMI ammo but was hesitant on the low-cost but from this presentation I think it performed quite well you may have to zero your rifle to it but that's okay with me thank you Paul this really helped in my decision to get it

[@grunt1807]

IMI ammo before the ammo apocalypse was decently priced and performed well for me. Luckily, I was able to stockpile about 60K rounds of it in 55, and 77 grains helping me get through these tough times.

[@SushiArmageddon]

Holy crap. Got some spare barrels etc. as well?

[@grunt1807]

@@SushiArmageddon lol, Ballistic Advantage usually has some great sales on barrels. 10 of my ARs are in 5.56 spreading it out and only 2 or 3 get heavy use.

[@SushiArmageddon]

@@grunt1807 I figured you would be prepared but wanted to make sure you werent planning on shooting half that ammo with a smooth bore.

You are well supplied to form a platoon!

[@cpprcrk1833]

The whole reason that the Military started issuing the 77gr Mrk 262 was the troops from Afghanistan and Iraq complaints about crappy stopping power of the Green Tip load in close quarters action . The origin load was the long range target ammo from BlackHills ammunition company using the Sierra 77 OTM bullet . Feedback was much improved stopping results .

[@originalamerican9396]

Yeah the military forgot the part where lighter 5.56 sucks in short barrels. Have to compensate with a heavier bullet.

[@duxdawg]

Troops complained about the lack of stopping power from 'Nam through Somalia and beyond. You're not wrong though.

[@cpprcrk1833]

@@originalamerican9396 855 GreenTips were much worse than the original 193 , didn't start yawing soon enough . The faster twist rates didn't do any favors for the 193 load though . They would have been better off with the old 1: 14 " rate with those .

[@ShopRat295]

It had nothing to do with stopping power. They issued for 77s for longer range accuracy.

[@johnoldman5877]

@@ShopRat295 Agreed, and that's why I use it. In MY 18" SPR rifle with a match barrel, I get MOA 5 shot groups, and I can take it out to distance.
