Mk262 will deliver .64 MOA at 300 meters from USAMU built match conditioned M16A4 and USAMU built SDMRs. I am a CMP-USAMU Military Rifle Instructor and from my own POWs I can hold about a half MOA from Mk262, thus the bottom-line is there’s no point to evaluation of other rounds unless the priority is on economy.

IMI 77 grain Razercore has chrono'd 2,740 feet per second average out of my Criterion Core series 13.9" + BCM headspaced bolt build, if anyone was interested in a whoopass barrel & ammo combination in a more general/adaptable fighting rifle size. It grouped the Razercore a best of 0.625" at 100 yards (indoors) with a Primary Arms SLx 1-8, which is obviously not ideal for a precise point of aim so it has a bit more potential than that. But that was the best group from the gun and also the most expensive ammo I tested in it. Lol. Shots were taken off sandbags on a bench. Trigger is a Geissele SSA. Upper is 100% off the shelf BCM components aside from the barrel and a Surefire SOCOM brake. Conditions the day I chrono'd it were 80 degrees, 50% humidity at around 150 feet above sea level. Other guns were tested that day (9mm handguns and another AR) and everything looked very normal, and the chronograph was brand new anyway. So. There didn't appear to be any technical issues.

The ideal velocity from Mk262 is 2750 fps. This is what will be delivered from a 20 inch barrel . Now why is that ideal? It syncs with the Bullet Drop Compensation function of carry handle sight and MaTech BUIS, and it permits use of a field expedient MOA wind constant of 10 out to 500 meters. It also is velocity that syncs with TA-31F ACOG.

It’s starline brass- (I anneal, trim, chamfer, debur every time, clean primer pockets) 23.6gr TAC CCI #41 primers 77gr smk I get 2780 FPS out of a 20” WOA SDMR barrel with single digit SD and average spread of 15 FPS. I get 2690 FPS out of a 16” WOA SPR barrel and got 3.8 SD and a spread of 11.3 just the other day. Both guns shoot sub moa consistently with that load, with best groups sub half moa. I haven’t needed more velocity than that but I’ll probably try the black arc stuff just to see how it shoots. I’d be interested to see if it is consistent lot to lot.

That’s incredible. Honest question, how do you get more velocity without increased chamber pressures? Different powders or internal case geometry? I’m new to reloading, have much to learn about that kind of stuff. Thanks
@XRINGАй бұрын
Well, I think I should have reworded that with “safe” chamber pressures. Everyone knows that Mk262 is hot. It’s going to have higher pressures than let’s say your normal 5.56 round of about 52-55k. Mk 262 runs about 57-61k psi give or take. The Black ARC stays below that 62k number with increased velocity. Probably has everything to do with the shell shock case construction, volume and powder. 👍🏼
@ChadCooper03Ай бұрын
@@XRING Ah I see. That makes sense. So elevated, yet safe pressures, that leverage the case materials to withstand pressures.
@shootinbruin3614Ай бұрын
@@ChadCooper03They may also be maintaining the given pressure for longer. When talking chamber pressures, almost always the numbers refer to the peak chamber pressure, which only occurs during a very small part of the burn event. Velocity can also be increased by extending the duration at which the peak is held without actually raising the peak itself.

9:00 can’t talk about the group like you’re suggesting it’s better than the Mk-262 when you said you shot it quickly just to get the rounds down range. I’ll take the lower SD and ES over a marginal velocity gain as consistent velocities will facilitate greater accuracy. Oh, nice velocity you achieved with your rifle and the Mk-262. Box lists 2,750 from a 20-in barrel. My FN M16A4 clone averages 2,775 fps. Still, both are over advertised velocity so I take that as icing on the cake. If you want a fast 77, the AAC 77s were the fastest (I tested) at 2,810 fps. However, the SD and ES were a bit lackluster.
