How Heavy is Too Heavy, Rifle Weight

The opinions and conclusions I share are 100% biased and subjective to my experiences. Now that that disclaimer is out of the way, let’s get started.



A few years ago, I committed to a competition called Assassins Way, a month-long field competition that is designed to test a variety of field craft, rifle craft, and other skills a well-rounded shooter should know. The gear requirements however are such that you have to carry your load for the entire month through multiple states and biomes. No swapping out gear, replacing items, etc. Knowing the demands of being out in the field for a long time, I gave myself a year to test equipment, techniques. I wanted to learn the stuff that I didn’t have a good grasp on in order to leverage myself toward a top finish.

For the Love of God, GI Joe and John Wayne.... cleaning and abrasive cleaners

Guys..... This has been beaten to death but you have to watch how your using abrasive cleaners! Here is a 223 barrel with 800 rounds on it. Cleaned after every 75 rounds fired. I know the pitting is from a chemical reaction but I didn't get the whole story. It was cleaned approximately 10-12 times from what the shooter told us.

What I did get was the shooter was using ThorroClean. This is a cleaner made and mixed with Iosso Bore Paste! So sum it up how ever you want.... it's an abrasive cleaner. The lands and bore are completely damaged. The lands are all rounded over, damage to the muzzles crown as well as polished and rounded over. In the first 2" of the barrel from the chamber a brush with the cleaner was run either by hand or with a drill on it. You can see the drag marks going over the tops of the lands and down in the grooves. This isn't from when the barrel got made. My guess is the shooter was worried about the carbon ring build up in the throat. Also notice the gouges running down the bore on tops of the lands and grooves.

Watch what your doing please.

The last picture for a reference for comparison is also a 223 Remington barrel. This was a accuracy test barrel I got back from the bullet maker. It quite shooting at 14,000 rounds! Up to that point it held .5moa or better at 200 yards. This is a saami spec. 6 groove barrel (not 5R rifling). Only one guy in the ballistic lab is allowed to clean the barrel with JB bore compound when they start getting a carbon ring built up. They only use the JB when the need is felt to use it. For an approximate number of cleanings on the accuracy test barrel it got cleaned 140 to 200 times.

Later, Frank

Black Hills 5.56mm 77 Grain Tipped MatchKing Accuracy Evaluation Update

Black Hills 5.56mm 77 Grain Tipped MatchKing Accuracy Evaluation Update



black_hills_box_01_resized_with_77_tippe-1336385.jpg





In 2016 I posted an in-depth review of the Black Hills 5.56 77 grain Tipped MatchKing ammunition. Three 10-shot groups of that 2016 lot had an average extreme spread of 1.26”. The smallest of those groups had an extreme spread of 1.14” with a mean radius of 0.39”.



black_hills_556mm_77_TMK_measured_10_sho-1336384.jpg




The cartridge overall length for the 2016 lot of the Black Hills 77 grain Tipped MatchKing averaged 2.246”, while a 2023 lot averaged 2.243”. The length of the bullet itself is basically the same for both lots. The 2016 lot was loaded in Winchester brass and the 2023 lot is loaded in Lake City brass with stab primer crimps. Both lots have sealant in the primer pockets and neither lot has sealant at the case mouth.



77-tipped-matchking-casehead-comparison-002.jpg




In my 2016 review, I noted that the 77 grain Tipped MatchKing was one of the longest bullets being commercially loaded to magazine length in the 5.56mm cartridge and that it had such a long ogive that the cannelure extended past the bearing surface of the bullet and onto the ogive, giving the grooves of the cannelure a rather unique “arrowhead” appearance.



swift_75_grain_scirocco_bullet_cmparison-2902332.jpg





77_tipped_matchking_cannelure_grooves_01-1336378.jpg





77_grain_tipped_matchking_on_granite_blo-1336377.jpg




The base to ogive measurement of the bullets in the 2023 lot is approximately 0.017” longer than the 2016 lot and the configuration of the bullet at the junction of the bearing surface and the ogive now allows for a full-fledged cannelure that does not appear to extend into the ogive, or it was just a matter of pressing the cannelure deeper that makes it appear so.



black_hills_77_tmk_2016_vs_2023_001_resi-2909734.jpg




A 10-shot group of the 2023 lot of the Black Hills 5.56mm 77 grain Tipped MatchKing ammunition fired from the same Lothar Walther barreled AR-15 used to test the 2016 lot, fired under the same conditions from a distance of 100 yards had an extreme spread of 0.86” and a mean radius of 0.24”.



black_hills_556_77_tipped_matchking_10_s-2909838.jpg





I’ll be posting chronograph data for the 2023 lot in the near future.

10/27/23

I chronographed two different lots of the 2023 Black Hills 5.56mm 77 grain Tipped MatchKing ammunition from an AR-15 with a chrome-lined, NATO chambered, 20” Colt barrel with a 1:7” twist.


Colt_20_inch_A2_barrel_02_border-1342441.jpg



The muzzle velocity that I obtained from the 2016 lot of this ammunition is shown in the table below. Black Hills now advertises that this load has a velocity of 2750 FPS from a 20” test barrel.


mk262_vs_77_tipped_matchking_table_02_re-1336389.jpg




Chronographing was conducted using an Oehler 35-P chronograph with “proof screen” technology. The Oehler 35P chronograph is actually two chronographs in one package that takes two separate chronograph readings for each shot (primary velocity and proof velocity) and then compares those readings to a statistical table to determine if there is any significant difference between the two readings to determine if the primary velocity is a valid reading or likely to be an erroneous reading. If there is an erroneous reading, the chronograph “flags” the shot to let you know that shot is invalid. There were no invalid shots flagged during this testing.


The velocity stated below is the muzzle velocity as calculated from the instrumental velocity using Oehler’s Ballistic Explorer software program. The string of fire consisted of 10 rounds over the chronograph.



oehler_chronograph_32-1342454.jpg




oehler_computer_02-1342452.jpg




Each round was single-loaded and cycled into the chamber from a magazine fitted with a single-load follower. The bolt locked-back after each shot allowing the chamber to cool in between each shot. This technique was used to mitigate the possible influence of “chamber-soak” on velocity data. Each new shot was fired in a consistent manner after hitting the bolt release. Atmospheric conditions were monitored and recorded using a Kestrel 4000 Pocket Weather Tracker.



kestrel_4000_21-1342442.jpg




Atmospheric conditions

Temperature: 71 degrees F
Humidity: 42.5%
Barometric pressure: 30.05 inches of Hg
Elevation: 950 feet above sea level


The muzzle velocity for lot #703 was 2779 FPS with a standard deviation of 16 FPS. This lot had a coefficient of variation of 0.58%.

The muzzle velocity for lot #723 was 2762 FPS with a standard deviation of 21 FPS and a coefficient of variation of 0.76%.



For those of you who might not be familiar with the coefficient of variation (CV), it is the standard deviation, divided by the mean (average) muzzle velocity and then multiplied by 100 and expressed as a percentage. It allows for the comparison of the uniformity of velocity between with different muzzle velocities.

For comparison, the mil-spec for M193 allows for a coefficient of variation of approximately 1.2%, while one of my best 77 grain OTM hand-loads, with a muzzle velocity of 2639 PFS and a standard deviation of 4 FPS, has a coefficient of variation of 0.15%.

Trim Length: How Crucial Are Those Last Two Numbers?

Been perusing the threads. Didn’t find what I’m looking for. Please point me in the right direction if I missed it:

6GT Alpha Munitions OCD brass. SAMMI recommend trim length for 6GT is 1.7250. In past attempts to trim with my Lyman, and admittedly having little experience trimming, I have a few at the recommended length, but others are at 1.760, 65 and 80.

On the short side, I have some from 1.7220 to 1.7245.

Is there an acceptable range, or should I try and be spot on? How might consistency possibly be affected being dead on vs. within the possible range?

Barrel is a Proof pre-fit Competition Contour.

Thanks for any input.

Another situational ethics question.

I just learned in my Oklahoma CCW class that its illegal to carry a pistol on USPS property , a definite felony:

The problem:

Youre in the P O with your concealed carry, well concealed, got your mail and headed out when you hear gunshots around the corner.

-Do you risk your freedom by stopping the mayhem.

-Get the fuck out of there cause even in you stop the problem you create a huge one for yourself.
