    Tried out the AAC ammo today!

    I bought a few boxes of the PSA AAc ammo, the 123g fmj, otm and sst style.
    I tested 5 shot groups of each ammo through a 20 in odinworks barrel and 5 shots groups of each through a 13.9 SOLGW barrel that has less than 100 rounds through it. both shot off the bipod at 100 yards an with a suppressor. I used Range buddy to calculate group sizes. I was going to test this stuff as well as a 5 step test ladder of the ELD VT handloads but forgot one box at home....

    Group1, FMJ 13.9 barrel
    1.50 moa, 2266 max fps, 2248 min fps, 2252 svg and 7.4 SD
    Group 2 OTM 13.9 barrel
    1.62 moa Max 2255 min 2235 avg 2244 sd 8.3
    Group 3 black tip 13.9 barrel
    1.81 moa max 2296 min 2272 avg 2284 sd 10.2
    I expect this barrel to get more accurate as I shoot it, since my experience has been overall that it takes 100 rounds or more to get where it should be on AR's but I could be wrong. I call this acceptable for me given my skill level though.

    Group 4 FMJ 20 inch barrel
    0.98 moa max 2453 min 2437 avd 2444 sd 7.3
    Group 5 black tip 20 inch barrel
    1.04 moa I screwed up on the Chrono... no #s
    Group 6 OTM 20 inch barrel
    1.12 moa max 2413 min 2407 avg 2410 sd 2.4

    I shoot unsupported in the rear off a Magpul bipod seated on a bench. I have used a rest before, or sandbags and I know all these numbers can be better with a more stable platform and better shooter but given the price point of the AAC ammo I am thrilled with the results. I know that I am the most limiting factor right now with the AAC ammo.

    This stuff is half the cost of Hornady and as accurate (or better with my 20" barrel not shooting ELD M particularly well), so if you do not handload and need consistent decent quality ammo this stuff rocks!

    Nice! Thanks for that info. I just ordered some of the black tip and OTM to try out. Most of what I shoot are my reloads but like to try out the new stuff to see what it can do.

      Thats is exactly why I grabbed it, seems decent enough in my barrel, hope it works as well in yours.
