Accuracy Is All About Testing And Practice

Our friend Andy at Practical Accuracy has given us an awesome video on the use of 55 gr. bullets in a 7:1 twist barrel.

"Do you realize the bullet out of an AR-15 travels 5 times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun."

Hey, I want one of them things!!!!!!
Demented old fool, or perhaps just reading from the script put in front of him by his handlers who want to perpetuate fear among idiots who don’t know how to Google muzzle velocity of 5.56mm (3250 FPS with a 20″ barrel and 55 gr.) versus say, 300 Win Mag (3290 FPS with 150 gr.).

This is an extremely well-done video presentation.
News from Atlanta.
It looks to me like he was in retreat to cover and didn’t aim well or land any shots. Too bad. But at least the presence of the rifle made the assailants flee.
No one needs an AR-15 for self defense. Tell that to the man who was just on the receiving end of 20+ rounds.
Or tell that to Stephen Bayezes.
Or tell that to the pregnant woman who used an AR-15 to defend her family.
No one actually needs an AR-15.

Says the woman who strung out good men to die in Benghazi because it was inconvenient to admit to America why there were there in the first place.
By the way, I guess these men didn’t get Hillary’s message about AR-15s.
Speaking of AR-15s, I also guess this woman was glad to have hers around when she needed it.
Our buddy Andy at Practical Accuracy has some thoughts on the M4 replacement (Next Gen Squad Weapon) we’ve recently discussed.
Make sure to watch it all, and some of the comments are interesting too.
I have a rifle in which I installed a Radian Raptor charging handle and a Battle Arms Development BCG. The two used together makes the action like glass. I have no comment on which charging handle you choose – but I do recommend one of the models as you see fit.
Zero with the best ammunition you will shoot, and use that for self defense. Otherwise, I agree with him. Buy what you want, but don’t expect the same performance.
This is also a reminder that shortened barrel lengths (seemingly all the rage now) create this same problem.
The Rule goes in the Federal Register on April 26, 2022, effective in 120 days.
SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (“Department”) is amending Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) regulations to remove and replace the regulatory definitions of “firearm frame or receiver” and “frame or receiver” because the current regulations fail to capture the full meaning of those terms. The Department is also amending ATF’s definitions of “firearm” and “gunsmith” to clarify the meaning of those terms, and to provide definitions of terms such as “complete weapon,” “complete muffler or silencer device,” “multi-piece frame or receiver,” “privately made firearm,” and “readily” for purposes of clarity given advancements in firearms technology. Further, the Department is amending ATF’s regulations on marking and recordkeeping that are necessary to implement these new or amended definitions. DATES: This rule is effective [INSERT DATE 120 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].
The Rule states that “[C]ourts have treated the regulatory definition of “firearm frame or receiver” as inflexible when applied to the lower portion of the AR-15- type rifle…” This rule is designed to go around the courts. Also, the AR-15 Platform is now a “ghost gun” or something. And “parts kits” are now guns.
Oh, I wouldn’t worry too much about him. He’s a soy boy from the inner city who wouldn’t know how to pick stalls, doctor a dog or horse, grow produce, or string a barbed wire fence.
I can do all of those things, and calculus too.
