Don't know how i missed this. I'm local to you and an SOT.  I'll be able to get or make any short barrel weapon you need for testing whenever we can find a common weekend to shoot.

I'll be dropping the 6.5 ammo by for iwouldntknow.

And 100gr Wolf.

I'll ship you a 12.5" upper and fund the ammo.
Wow. Thank you. Please email me.
You should test some American Gunner 123gr ammo while you've got it there.

Have you done the 77gr IMI out of a 10.5"?  That would not suck.

How about Hornady’s short barreled .223 loads, have you done them yet?

Please take a moment to indicate which loads you are most interested in seeing tested in the next round of gel tests for the Arfcom YouTube channel. Please select all that you prefer, multiple choices are allowed. Next round will probably include four loads so the best option is to select your four favorite. Please indicate barrel length preference in a comment. Available barrel lengths are:

.223/5.56mm: 10.5", 11.5", 14.5", 16", 18", 20"
.300 AAC: 8"
7.62x39mm: 16", 20"

I would fucking LOVE to test that shit. Can you get me a gun and ammo?

I would like to see the Modern Arms .300 AAC 125gr Speer TNT round tested from a 16" barrel and then compared to what you consider to be the best 5.56 defensive round from a 16" barrel.

Why?

Well the idea is if someone wants a purely home defense rifle and they don't want to deal with SBR or with suppressors is it better to go with 5.56? Or, is supersonic .300 Blackout a better choice?

That's a good test idea. But I think it should be the best vs the best. And I don't have a 16" .300 AAC barrel.

I tested the Hornady 6.5mm Grendel 123gr SST and ELD yesterday. No spoilers. Big thanks to iwouldntknow for providing the ammo and loaning the 12.5" upper used for testing. I will have access to the upper for a short time longer. Who wants to drop ship some Wolf or other 6.5mm Grendel for testing?

IM sent for ship address.  I’m guessing between AIM and SGammo, one will allow me to ship to an address different than billing.

ETA:  IM received, 3 boxes ordered, and theoretically in route to your address.

I am hunting SC deer on Saturday of this week.

120 Nosler B-tip or 123 ELD-M?  I have both loaded up.

No spoilers but the test is relevant for this hunt.  Shots are 150 yards and in from a 16in Grendel.

I haven't tested the Nosler, but the 123gr ELD is legit.

1:14 twist AR15 with vintage 1963 ammo so we can finally settle the "tumble" issue

That would be interesting!  To really make it worth doing use a 20" barrel and test a 1:7 beside it for a direct comparison.
