I searched and googled and didn’t seem to see it anywhere. Anyone have this number handy?
~2427 fps according to Buffman RANGE
Thank you.
Stupid question. I saw that too and was wondering if the different operating platform makes a difference? (>100fps)
Eagle_19er on TOS got an average of 2633 fps with Wolf Gold 55gr from a Noveske 10.5”.
Big variance. I did notice buffman was done in the snow so I’m sure that affected it.
Looks like I gotta chrono myself.
Can you guys tell me what sort of groups I would expect from that ammo and barrel length. We are going to range tomorrow (thur) to try to trouble shoot a jumping POI. Is that ammo prone to just jumping around? I wouldn’t think so. I think I have some sort of mechanical issue going on. We will at 50 yards at first to try to figure this out. I don’t think it’s ammo and just wanted to verify no one else gets any sort of random multiple POI issues?
I don’t have a huge number of Wolf Gold rounds fired and none through a 10.5, but shooting it through several 16 and 20 inch rifles I haven’t seen anything bad about it. Its been good M193 ammo in my experience.
Some possible explanations:
Ammo inconsistency from lot to lot
Cold temp
10” vs 10.5” barrel (if adverts are accurate)
AK barrel vs Noveske
I think the difference in velocity can be explained by the sum of differences in barrels and test conditions.
Funny, I just built a DD 10.3, NSR rail, and MUR. The gas block is very close to the rail and I am wondering if it’s hitting.
This was the first range trip after adjusting the gas block for a suppressor. 50 yards, Wolf Gold, using a red dot.
My next trip, no cleaning, I shot PPU 75gr and used a 10x scope. The group looked similar and I didn’t take a picture. I figure these are 4 moa groups and I swear Wolf Gold in the past was much better.
I am going to file the gas block and try to hit the range this weekend. I have some 77gr factory ammo but I’ll bring some Wolf Gold and hopefully shoot a better group.
We went today and with a 4x scope at 50 and 10 shot groups the best we got was around 3". So we went to 100 and the best I could get was 10 shots in a 5" square. I don’t know what that group would have technically measured to but we would keeping getting these situations like a nice little 3 shot group then a flyer this way and another flyer that way. That’s when we both know we were holding dead on. I’m sure some of my issues are operator error but we both shot several shots that we know should not have landed where they did.
I’ve not had much luck with this accuracy wise. I’ve only shot it at most with a 4x acog and more typically with T1s or Irons.
Specifically, I consider this 3 MOA at best and wouldn’t think anything is wrong with my equipment unless it was over 5 MOA. These are ten round groups with unmagnified optics at 100, 200, and 300 yards. I have never had an issue consistently shooting an ipsc at 300 or even 400, and I’ve had ok hit ratios out to 600 with it using an ACOG.
It isn’t bullseye ammo.
Depends on the gun. This is only a 5 shot group but it’s typically 1 moa out of my Larue. That clearly has more to do with the barrel vs the ammo.
2683, cut down DD (10.75") with M4SD, 82 deg F. 2662, 10.5" SCAR, same can, same temp. I did these tests in 2017.
Found this thread with tons of data for almost every available self defense, 55/62gr clone round and steel cases ammo in existence for 10.5, 11.5 and 14.5
That’s the one I got the velocity from I posted earlier.
Ahh. Lol. Yes I see that now. I was wondering why my velocity number in my app already matched his for 10.5”.
