Wilson Arms 16" and 20" AR15 Barrel Testing

[Bigjake83]

I have the one 20" all built up and ready to test. Just need to load up some ammo and get to the range. Weather the past 2 months has been miserable and work has been super busy.

It's currently been pouring for almost 2 weeks and gonna rain till next Monday...

After these spring rains move out I should be able to get out and get these 2 Wilson barrels tested

Bro! ... that's how you get your best DOPE..lol

All jokes aside, I try to go out at least 5-6 times in every Season during the nastiest days I can find so extreme, heat, cold, wet, windy...and function test/chronograph every pet load for each of my rifles, just to see if I can find any anomalies.

Lol. Gotta work up a load for these barrels first. Nothing good comes from working up a load in 2" per day downpours and 30+ mph winds except skewed results and wasted components.

But sure, after you work a load up for any rifle you should shoot it in every condition possible.

Sounds great, looking forward to it

Any news on these? @padom

I just had the 20" out this week. Shooting 77smk with 23.6gr 8208 right at 0.75moa..

I have not tested the 16" yet.

I also tested 73 ELD's they didn't shoot as well as the 77smk

Thanks. Do you generally try varget or just stick with 8208 on 223?

I generally don't shoot varget in my ARs.. Mostly 8208 since it's shot so damn good for so many years with heavies... but I also have great results with AR Comp, H4895, RE15 and Tac

Yeah, the only problem is getting the damn stuff

I hear you. I have a bunch of it

That is why I switched to Staball Match. Temp stable. Faster in my gun than 8208, and USA made so supply seems to be better.

Going to do some accuracy testing when I get a chance but it seems good at the moment.
