Another by request TNP donor special video. Here we'll start talking about the best bullet weight on your AR15 application. It may surprise you. I'll give some examples of my own AR systems. Then we'll get down to business on about how the AAC branded 77 grain "Open Tip Match" or OTM load shot out of two TNP platforms. This is good ammo at a good price while it lasts.

Is it blasphemous that my interest wanes when an AR15 is in focus? I will be seeing if this load works well in my RDB-S. Even with that, the caliber and the more general variety of weapons chambered in it just don't... entice. Nutn, you're talking about the limitations of terminal performance with top-end heavy loads for the type. Is the honeymoon and marriage with 5.56 over at this point? Has the type reached the threshold of sunken cost, where the only real value is in its commonality and availability? How many more years do you see it lasting?

Matthew Sinn

Also, I appreciate your more tasteful application of the tiktok intermissions. Brevity is the soul of wit and absence makes the heart grow fonder, as the bard said probably. Keep them in.

GMAX

Got a case my guy. Much obliged 🍸😉

Todd Strelka

Yeah, I'm sure this ammo is way better than the 55 gr XM193 ammo I have. Great video!

JFire

Perfect timing! I’m setting up my SPR upper and am at the point where I need to test and choose my ammo. This definitely helps!

BadgerTails

Yes, we ARE IN a state of EMERGENCY! I began putting the 75/77 gr purchases into the monthly budget; a heavier and more accurate and speedy round is killer! IIRC, I only have 1 AR-15 which is 1:9 twist and that's where all the 55/62 gr stuff goes. Drive on TnPers, DRIVE ON!!!

Mattimus

Great review

Hold Fast Joe

Thanks Rick! I've tried the AAC stuff, it's pretty good! Federal gold medal match gives best results for me. I've been picking up cases of federal gmm. I used federal gmm in a couple of local 400 yard 3 position matches this year and every miss was totally my fault. I really like the ballistics of gmm in 69gr load with 18inch barrel.

Nathan Simms aka Darkpriest

Thanks for making this a rumble video. We need to be migrating over to that and X. Youtube and Meta are lost.

Nick Clements

Awesome ammo. AAC has been my go to ammo for 223/556, 308, and 9mm! Great video, it confirmed my already purchased ammo hahaha. Much Love Brother!

Seeker Keyl

In terms of raw performance you are right, surely, but market and economic dynamics imply to me that 556 isn't going anywhere anytime soon for widespread usage. But for most people, it's good enough. AAC starting production of 65grendel I think is an interesting choice though... Then again, phased plasma rifles in the 40watt range might be the next revolution in handheld weapons 😎

Sonnedude

I can confirm this ammo is FANTASTIC

Kyle weyerbacher

Great video Nutn, good to see this ammo getting more popular. I like AAC/PSA’s mission as a company.

Mattimus

What are your thoughts on x?

Colostomybag

I bought some of this. Shot pretty good out of my spr at 300. Not quite as good as others, but it's got the good bullet and it more acurate than any 55gr I've put through it. I got mine for 75 cents a round which I think is pretty great

Rick Grad

I definitely think your time and effort to make the video is worth more than the a case of ammo, so thanks a bunch for making the vid for us! Sometimes it goes on sale for .55 a round. I’ll use the link and pick some up next round.

Scott Davis

I’ve shot 1500+ of the 77gr AAC. Mostly in DMR matches in the Southeast. I’ve been pleased. SD’s have been higher than I like but I’m able to shoot double the amount because of the affordability.

Chris Fischer

I have my whole system set up around 55 grain. I'm pretty capable out to about 450 yards with it. Is it worth switching my long range to 77 grain? I had load already so I would probably just hamd load it as well

Hold Fast Joe

You just need to try it and decide. I suggest hanging a steel plate at 450 yards. Hit it a few with 55 then switch to the heavy stuff and repeat. You will likely see and hear the difference

Kyle Soucy

My 1/8 twist Odin barrel hated both the 77 and 75 grain AAC stuff. Grouped over 2 MOA at best. Gonna try it in my BCM to see if the faster 1/7 twist helps. I’m not the best shooter but if the ammo is good I should be able to get at least 1.5 MOA or better. For the price I really would like this ammo to work for my system.

Timothy T.

Hey Nutn just reaching out, long time patron, I dropped my monthly contribution down a bit- nothing you’re doing just getting tight on my end and I haven’t had time to watch a lot of the content the last year or two, still chipping in a little but wanted you to know I wasn’t unhappy with what you’re putting out :)

BadgerTails

I dont think so, IIRC it was about 25 years ago that the Mk 262 was developed for the US Navy. However, mind you, Black Hills develops their 5.56 rounds using 24" barrels, with a 300m 2 MOA guarantee! We can get into the weeds on POU, as we have SO MANY different shooters here; farm, ranch, plinkers, hobbyists, range sports. WROL in my workplace changed in last 5 years, I've had to adjust POU severely. It's almost just a matter of which gun I have in which truck, but I want it to win; AK or AR or bolt. It's cool to see the ammo get more refined AND affordable!

Deon Lee

Guess you missed my comment a while back you and TD were talking about no one actually stores up 75/77 grain and I said yea we do we have boat loads of aac from psa 🤣

Deon Lee

Also their 308 6.5 creedmoore and 6.5 Grendel ammo is great too. I mostly get their saber black tips. Got them in 62 grain and 75 grain for the 5.56 but I do have a couple 100rds each of the 75 and 77 grain bthp. But the 123gn black tip saber for the 6.5 Grendel is crazy good for the price they are selling it for. Only $15 a box. And they are using the Hornady sst bullet just with a black tip instead of red.

Rick Grad

I took your advice from about a month ago and bought a case of the 69g GMM. It is really amazing stuff. I zeroed my main rifle to it…will probably try and get a few more cases over the next year or so. I’m trying it get it around $1 a round if I can.

Hold Fast Joe

Great news! I have seen it for sale in quantities of 200 and 500. I don't really trust the 500 count sellers as the 200 count comes in a Federal factory sealed box with 10 units of 20 each in it. So I'm worried the 500 count boxes maybe something else, not Federal gold medal match. Happy you got good results! Out of one of my bartlein barrels it's round on top of round at 100 yards. Very impressive punching a single hole. Even better at 200 yards it often groups better than most ammo does at 100 yards! Its expensive, but dang.. Worth it to me!

Bluegill097

I keep thinking I need to buy more 77 grn for longer shots…. But then I remind myself 400 yards where I live has like 20 apartments, 40 people, and 84 dogs between me and the target lol aka not a realistic scenario in which I’d be cranking off shots.

@nutnfancy have you tried the .308 AAC, I purchased more than 1k of both 5.56 and .308 to test with When PSA put them on sale. My tests with the 75gr 5.56 was like yours I should be testing the .308 before the end of Aug.

The Hide

I've reviewed a few of the AAC loads on my channel and they have performed amazing. The AAC punches way above it's weight class imo. Great review Nutn glad to see you trying it out!

Blizzak454

I'm headed to PSA tonight. They're just a couple exits away.

Don C

When would you choose this over Nutnfancy's latest recommendation the PMC .223 (https://t.co/mZ1qyi1Yqe) round? What are the use cases for each?
