Black Hills Red vs Blue

AR/M4 AR General Discussion
1

I was reading a aricle by Cutshaw who was shooting a Wilson M4 with 16.25 M4 barrel!

Ammo was BH Red Box 77gr

High 2767
low 2626
Ave 2653
SD 40

seems a bit HIGH

The BH Red and Blue box 77gr has a muzzle of 2750fps from what Ive read?

I wonder if theBH RED box is loaded hotter?

He also shot the HORNADY Red box 75 TAP
high 2624
low 2575
ave 2604
SD 17

Published velocities tend to be a little enthusiastic. They may also be testing them with a 20" barrel.

Does seem high for a 16.25 barrel

I find the Blue Box Reloads to be Outstanding and MUCH Cheaper then RB.:wink:

Hornady Tap 75grain for buisness 5.56mm of course.:smiley:

His chronograph could be off.
