SK ammo Head to Head at 100 yards - Bergara B14r

[@foonus406]

It takes a lot of time but you can see on paper the effect of first weight sorting, and then sorting those batches by rim thickness. With a good barrel (Bartlein) and a few boxes of the SK Match I can actually see the slight point of impact shifts of the groups. You also end up with a few which are way out of measure with the rest of them - I'm willing to bet those would account for most of the flyers you had. Just one observation, those scope lens covers act as a mini sun shade and restrict light coming into the scope... I take those off when shooting bench. Thanks for the video!

At 2:45 the unluckiest bug in history 😂

[@1mccactus]

Excellent work again 👍 I just wish the SK LONG RANGE was available in Australia again 🥺 I would love to see 3 different brands grouped through a standard barrel, then a barrel tuner tweaked in on one brand then note the same brands again with the same tuner setting.

Seeing these videos prompted me to order Bergara BMR in both, steel and carbon fiber barrels. I also ordered some Sellior and Ballot Canadian Match ammo to start destroying some paper targets at 50 yards. To go a 100 yards is above my skill level. I would love to see this S&B Can.match ammo (white box with Canadian maple flag) tried out by Ryan on all three rifles and see which rifle would be the top winner at 50 yards or farther if they shoot well. Apparently they dramatically improved the manufacturing of this ammo and invested into brand new equipment which now produces close to zero deviations in bullet weights, case diameters, powder charges etc. Many have reported amazing results with this ammo, and it's one of the cheapest ammo out there.

Great video! I myself as well feel my heart pumping hard and it does throws the impacts off. So far can’t find SK Long Range Match anywhere, get as much as you can! 💯 yards is a totally different ball of wax, have had match ammo come apart in some of my rifles at that distance. Indeed my Bergara BMR has become my favorite and is still OEM👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽.

[@kentcori7620]

Thanks for the excellent comparison. I have the same B14r as you and my personal results mirror yours. Mine likes the SK Long Range Match the best by far. Lapua Long Range followed closely by Lapua Center-X were between it and the SK Rifle Match in terms of 100 and 200-yard 5- round group sizes. Now, if I could just find some more SK Long Range Match:)

[@Kyrimfireandhobbies]

Great shooting. I had a begara with the carbon barrel. It shot really well

[@BROTUNED]

What happened to it?

[@Kyrimfireandhobbies]

@ I host a 50 yard Rimfire competition at our local gun club twice a month. I had a guy interested in the matches but he didn’t have a tool to compete so I let him purchase my Bergara.

[@johnstewart2011]

Another excellent informative video; thanks.

[@JrWhite-fk3lf]

I’m looking forward to the Norma ELR test

[@janbastein7355]

SK was bought by LAPUA in 1992 !

[@vicgarrett]

Got 4 difference batches of LRM and like all batches there is variation of sum sort but its been the best of what SK I have shot.

[@CountryRimfire]

My Bergara hates SK Long Range Match and I think it is the lot I have. Hopefully you can get that same lot # Good video man!!

[@paolomarzano8896]

Ciao from Italy! I also love the SK long rage! Try it at 200 meters and you will see the results! Unfortunately I haven't found them for over a year, they seem to have disappeared!

[@rustynut1967]

Awesome. I haven't tried long range match.

[@22guru]

Nicely done

[@geordiegeorge9041]

I had the same results out of my CZ 457 MTR 20". Now I live where SK ammo is manufactured and have problems getting my hands on it.

[@old_rocker3642]

where is the video about the spring for Tikka?

[@vodi749]

Good that I bought a bigger lot of the SKLR. 😎 Have you ever tried copper plated like for example the Federal High Velocity? Maybe worth a try?! 😇 But you need to clean the bore before trying it and after if you then want back to standard led. 😉

[@tjfishing2714]

Great groups have you tried the 45 gr cci ?

[@richardmattix5322]

Skort and sweet I enjoy your content

[@charlesmckinley29]

Hope you can get more of that lot and it performs as well as this box did.

[@BROTUNED]

The shop near man is a diamond in the rough it has so much ammo and it doesn’t go anywhere. As long as I don’t let the secret out ha ha

[@charlesmckinley29]

@ my toy store only carries Eley and none of my rifles like it. SK Plus has been very good lately.

[@joeschmoe6213]

I'd like you to compare shooting with your bipod compared to a bench with a front rest and rear bag.

[@KyleOldendorph]

Fiocchi range dynamic is way more consistent than CCI standard about the same price

[@BROTUNED]

I have never seen that ammunition

[@stevenlee2780]

Another great video! If I may comment, please do the same ammo “set” (and try to use same lots per type if possible) at 200 yards and show comparison summary at end between the 100 and 200. With your Garmin data, it shows that SK LRM was just at supersonic and the STD+ and RM were subsonic (just making reference here). Another comment is if you can add the environmental data (Temp, Wind, %RH) to your summary (best to write on targets as record) as these may be relevant as some point. A third comment or idea, I wonder how many rounds you have through your Bergara since last cleaning? You may want to do a comparison video between a very “well seasoned” shooting session (hopefully really dirty/fouled with carbon ring present) and compared to a through cleaning and remove carbon ring shooting session to see how groups change. Would need to set aside a few boxes of ammo sets with same lots per type (to try and minimize lot variance) and see after cleaning, how many rounds to season your barrel for best/sustained groups for each ammo type (Std+, RM, LRM). If you really want to get fancy…dirty vs clean vs clean and seasoned (first) cold bore shots for each ammo type (and at vs distance). All these tests help create great DOPE info for your rifle + ammo pairing. Lather - Rise - Repeat for each rifle as a series.

[@BROTUNED]

Those are all great ideas I made some notes and will see what I can do! Thanks for your ideas!

[@KyleOldendorph]

Have you ever thought about a budget ammo video. Fiocchi range dynamic or Eley contact Ammunition it’s actually a fantastic entry-level, Ammunition. I just like shooting with budget Ammunition

[@BROTUNED]

Basically the lowest I go is cci sv but I definitely will do a budget ammo video

[@johnjiracek893]

Enjoy your videos. Can you get ahold of some Lapua and do the same thing?

[@wayne19563]

Love it 🎉

[@jeffreypelletier7247]

A few people I shoot long gong with have the B14R’s and kinda noticed the steel barrel version they’ve had better luck with they had the carbon ones and they seemed to be ammo picky they shot well when the found the one they liked but the steel seemed to like more

[@BROTUNED]

Damn I bought the wrong gun then

[@Glennoutdoors]

What scope are you using?Im going to buy mine next week the exact same rifle . Thanks for your vid great shooting

[@Latinrimfire72]

Would be curious how this would play out with a steel barrel. My carbon tended to “drift” randomly once it heated. A laser beam otherwise, used to drive me nuts ! Lol

[@stevenxindaris1477]

100 yards and above is where SD starts to really matter. Wish we could measure SD at different yardages.

[@FukuYTmark6]

So now that you've had the Bergara and Tikka for a bit. How would you rank your 1st 2nd 3rd favorites between Bergara, CZ and Tikka.

[@realtruth4259]

THOUGHT SO.... SKLR GR8 VALUE.. ONLY COMPLAINT WITH MY B14R IS THE COLD BORE SHIFT... NICE SHOOTING 🤔🤔

[@chrislang5659]

I dare you to try High Velocity Match! I ended up with a brick of it. I don't know what to do with it. Pretty bad at 50!😢

[@foonus406]

I saw some sitting on the shelf - its the only "Match" ammo thats stayed on the shelf for a few months! That said my 10/22 does very well with the Eley High velocity hollow points..

[@chrislang5659]

@foonus406 I just got a Keystone Cricket 722PT. Been trying lots of ammo to find something it'll shoot. So far Eley Target is the best. I still have, Team, Match, and Tenex to go! It really doesn't like SK all that much. Pistol Match did the best with an average of .75 at 50🙄

[@Glennoutdoors]

Would this be a good choice for NPR ?

[@22lr_plinking]

Ouch another super long video. , wish I had time to see it

[@colinsimmons2913]

You will miss the LRP, sorry😂🤣

[@BROTUNED]

I still have it and it’s not going anywhere

[@KyleOldendorph]

Well, unfortunately, I do not know how to send a pic through KZbin comments. But you could definitely find it on the Internet. And unfortunately, you’re north of the border so couldn’t send you any.

[@gunvlog]

Took my Savage Mark II BTVS to the range a few weeks ago with SK Longrange Match on 50m to warm up and then on the 100m lane with elektronic target. I shoot SK Long Range at up to 300m Ruger Mini 14 und Savage MK II Spaß auf dem Schießstand kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3PFopqMrdhro9k
