Got 200 rounds of 5.56 down range today. 120 of it was a MK262 clone load from CBC. This review convinced me to try it;
"I shot and chrono'd some today along with some real "out of a craft brown 20 round boxes" BH Mk262 Mod 1. The Magtech is just as accurate but faster and has a little more recoil than real BH Mk262 Mod 1.
Accuracy was roughly the same I wasn't measuring groups but it was just as accurate as BH Mk262 Mod 1. 18" gun has a 1-4x S&B Short Dot and the 14.5" gun has a 2MOA Aimpoint M4.
Chrono data:
18" BCM SS410 w/BH Mk262 Mod 1 = average velocity 2763fps, extreme spread 38fps
18" BCM SS410 w/Magtech 77gr OTM = average velocity 2778fps, extreme spread 27fps
14.5" BCM BFH Midlength w/BH Mk262 Mod 1 = 2656fps, extreme spread 49fps
14.5" BCM BFH Midlength w/Magtech 77gr OTM = 2670fps, extreme spread 22fps"
I was happy to see all sub MOA groups with this load since I had bought a 1,000 rounds of it, half the price of Black Hills. No over-pressure signs but it felt and ejected like it was on the hot side.
Temps were around 50 but the wind was quartering in at 30-35 so I got some good practice reading the wind and timing the shot. 60 shots at the dueling tree with 60 hits
Helped a friend zero a new 17 HMR bolt gun, Marlin I think. The wind didn't seem to bother it much, a pleasant round to shoot but I don't feel the need for it my pack. Seems like a 22LR or 5.56 will cover anything it will do plus a bit more. 22LR definitely punches paper at a cheaper rate!
Heading for dads farm in Nebraska tomorrow. The wife wants to shoot pistols so we'll plink away on the junk yard course with a a few hundred rounds of 9mm and 45ACP.
God it feels good to be back in the free world!
