5.56 is a lot more capable than most people think. There's a segment that Travis Haley talks about his Najaf rifle in Iraq and using it up to around 700-800m. He did mention how surprised he was and he never really took the 5.56 to those ranges before. Now it is a 20" with 77gr. This however, m855 out of a 16" at 1000 yards is on another level!😂
Very impressive, I have the same upper and optic but I just got the optic and I can't wait to get to the range. I have been using primary arms optics with the ACSS reticle and I love them.
Nice. I managed to take the same optic out to 600 with cheap 55gr .223 through my 18.5" brn-180 recently. Granted it was a whole lot easier with my 20" 6arc and 3-9x40
@@FlatlanderGear you could hit anything with anything if you have a favorable setting. the fact that it was ditched in favor of SCAR 17s like a decade ago is not arbitrary.
Curiosity, do you know the subtensions of the reticle between major stadia on the AR-BDC4 reticle? I just got a Spitfire 5x and was not sure where those stadia are
He's a RUclipsr - Mountains, Mullets, Merica: He started with a 14.5" barrel - "How Far?" Range Distance: 400, 580, 790, and 1040 yards. Mounted: Vortex Razor 1-10x with a 77 gr projectile the results are as follows: yardage 400 (5/5), 580 (9/10), 790 (6/4), 1040 (2/4:6). He actually started with a 55 gr projectile - you need to see his videos on how he shoots.
Poverty pony, 400$ optic, generally considered to be mediocre ammo and you hit a target at 1000. This really does prove that it really is the Indian and not the arrow.
@@FlatlanderGear ya I certainly can’t do it 😂 Question though, do any of the Burris or vortex reddots that interface with the mount perform on par with the holosun 407k?
With practice you will! On cursory glance, the Vortex ones need some updates. The Burris ones fare better but I’m a bit of a Holoshill. I’d go for the H but I might review a Razor, Venom, or Viper for fun and might be pleasantly surprised.
(I think a previous comment of mine was shadow-erased by youtube or something) The 5x vortex is looking great. I'm using an LPVO but man does that thing turn a handy .22 caliber rifle into a weapon heavier than grampaw's M1 Garand. I also don't want to pay more for an optic with a worse reticle and eye relief (ACOG). Moreover, green tip ammo Aero Precision barrel? But, but, but, the internet hive mind said I needed at least 77 grain OTMs and Criterion/Craddock/Proof Research barrels, otherwise I would be kilt in the streets! I jest of course. Those would help but wow, 1-0-0-0 yards?!! The main sticking point I have with the Spitfire is the 1 MOA adjustments. The coarse adjustment really isn't that bad, huh?
Yep, this is why I haven't been using LPVOs as much lately. Their balance is fine but you can't do volume shooting and moving quite as much as something with half the weight. And yeah, though 75-77gr stuff is inherently more accurate at range, the heavier stuff only stays supersonic for 100 more yards than the 62gr SS109. They will hit about the same by the time you are at 1000 yards. A nicer barrel and proper optic will bring you closer to a 1st round hit however. The 1MOA isn't the end of the world but you need to start playing with the tension of the mount. I made it work and trued the windage as 300 this way and still stayed true, but it helps to have 1/4-1/2-MOA clicks.
@@FlatlanderGear well according to Primary arms a 16inch barrel should be zero to 200 yard at the tip of the chevron, which min is. The last dot is 500 yards, I've only taken it to 300 using the bottom of the chevron.
Was that your rifle pictured sitting on the bag with the viper scope?? If so how the crap did you get the scope?? I know it exists but I’ve never found it for sale
I personally wonder how it feels to get hit from 1000 yard or even 1 mile away with 5.56. Would it feel like an angry bumble bee, or micro Mike Tyson punching you in the chest?
J E S U S! 1000 yards? With that set up? SHEESH! Definitely proves, it’s the person behind the weapon that proves to be most effective! God bless!
You're the definition of "Hold my Beer", in one of the best possible ways. Good job man, think you just sold me on this optic.
This is incredibly cool! Congratulations!

Did you take your shot at sea level?
And I have a video coming up on the 6ARC fairly soon so your timing is great.
@@FlatlanderGear It was about 1k ft of elevation.
I'll look forward to it.
Cool story!
It’s like you were shooting artillery placements.
I don’t even remember what this angle was at the bench…
Fuck yeah man lmao, that’s awesome 😎👍🏼
Lol thanks dude! Best name ever!
Nice work! Subscribed.
Thank you very much!
Awesome man, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I hope it's not braggy. It's meant to show that it could be done.
people will watch this video and feel vindicated in their mk12 purchase
Oh yeah, that’ll nip 1000 yards with Mk262 all day. Even at sea level.

Reason 600 was so hard was that’s where the bullet goes trans sonic. Stability of bullets go to crap at this point.
That might be the case but I have a feeling it goes transonic a little farther than that…

Yeah its not a bad thing to have all your mags loaded with M855 instead of having 1 loaded with 77 grain lol
lol I got on strelok to see what my ranging features are for distance for my GLx2x and my rifles specs 😅😅
