M855 vs 68gr frontier cartridge BTHP vs Winchester WB 62GR FMJ @956 yds

[@artillerybuff2000]

Not my choice of firearm or ammo for 950+ yards, but wholly smokes, I wouldn't want to be standing down there! Thanks for the cool video!

[@xforce708]

956 yards, three different loadings. Dang impressive.

[@WesternOutdoor]

I was happy with those results.👍👍thanks for watching.

[@jacobgrove6582]

I was really surprised to see all three of those cartridges group so close together at that distance.

[@WesternOutdoor]

To be honest I had to rewatch the video. It’s been several months since I filmed it. Yeah, I was very surprised how close they all were at that distance. When I get some decent weather around here I’d like to put out a block of ballistic gel and see if I can get some hits and see what kind of penetration they’re getting that far out.

[@jacobgrove6582]

@@WesternOutdoor testing gel at that distance would be awesome! I've seen a couple videos of folks shooting larger caliber at distance but haven't been able to find any testing 556/223.

[@WesternOutdoor]

I’ve got 2 brand new blocks waiting for a nice day that coincides with my days off. I did a 500 yard test with M855 last spring. It’s on the channel if you’d like to see it.👍

[@jacobgrove6582]

@@WesternOutdoor cool, I'll have to go watch it. Thanks for all the info.

Winchester won the military contract for Lake City

I wonder if the 1/9 twist is a tad slow for the 68gr and you’d get better stabilization with a 1/8 or 1/7

[@armedfarm3429]

Figure it out during the editing faze. Oh goody, so we'll never know. Brilliant

[@WesternOutdoor]

The viewer sees it as it happens. I have to see the impacts after the fact. Most folks pick up on that right away.

[@WesternOutdoor]

Oh and it’s “phase” by the way. Your poor grammar doesn’t faze me.😉👍

[@armedfarm3429]

Done did it, fazed you more n me!🤣🤣@@WesternOutdoor

[@luckygreenforest508]

Great Video 📹 👍 👏 👌 🙌 😀

[@WesternOutdoor]

Thanks! Appreciate the great feedback!!👍👍

[@rickm4295]

What barrel are you using ? Is it a match grade barrel or just standard CHF decent barrel.

[@WesternOutdoor]

It’s an EA Brown Company. I didn’t remember it being a match grade but I looked them up and they’re advertising them as national match grade, 1/9 24” .223 Wylde. They’re $300 now vs. like $275 when I got mine. Gone up like everything else but still not terrible.

[@SergeantGhost171]

Why 956? Just curious.

[@WesternOutdoor]

Well, 1000 would either put me shooting from the road or put the Target behind the hill. If that makes sense.😂

[@wwjd8833]

So would you say the 68 grain frontier would line up with my acog that is calibrated for m855?

[@WesternOutdoor]

Well, every rifle is a little different but it may be worth a try.
