Since it's getting harder and harder to find MK262 I need some help finding and alternative. I was using MK262 out of an 18" SPR, the gun is exceptionally accurate with this ammo.
So what else is out there that I should consider? |

SSA has a MK262 copy... it may even come with the LC head stamp....
SSA MK262 |

Quoted:
since they're using the same SMK bullet, how does the Fiocchi Exacta 77gr compare to the Mk262? Fiocchi 77 grain Exacta 
This Fiocchi load uses the 77 grain Sierra MatchKing (without a cannelure.) The load is charged with ball powder. From the 20” Colt barrel, this load had a muzzle velocity of 2549 fps with a standard deviation of 16 fps. This is a little on the slow side for this particular category of ammunition, however since this is intended to be a “target load”, velocity is not a crucial factor at shorter distances. A 10-shot group fired from 100 yards from a Krieger barreled AR-15 with a 1:7.7” twist, had an extreme spread of 0.995”.

Not to hijack but what is the optimal usage of this round? Will it expand? And what is the optimal barrel twist for it? Thanks for any help. SMK 77gr bullet would be good for LR Targets & or shooting BG when barriers aint a problem The 77gr SMK can Frag Twist 1/8 & 1/7 Check out ATK they have a down load with gel testing of the 77gr smk bullet BTW same 77gr bullet but not the MK262 NATO pressure But it will give you some idea also ckeck above tacked threads |
