[QUOTE="strawdog, post: 1083427, member: 7472"] With summer starting to become full circle and the days getting longer I will be starting some testing and range report write-ups. I always like to get input before i work up the range testing. My first one i will be doing this summer is testing out a few factory loaded 223/5.56mm -75-77gr ammunition. I have some boxes of Silver State Armory 77gr SMK coming in the mail as we speak and i will also be hunting down some Black Hills 77gr SMK for this test, I will try to find the actual MK262 Mod1 stuff. What other production ammo would you guys like to be included in this write up? Some of the other offering out there is Double Tap, Hornady, Extreme Shock, Remington and Wolf. I would like to run five differant brands with Silver State and Blackhills already being part of that five, so give me 3 more. I would also like to hear any testing you would like to see when i run this thing. As of now my test is going to be a basic performance test with recorded velocities at barrel and recording group sizes at 100yds, 300yds and 500yds. The rifle i will be using is a Mk12 Mod1 or as i like to say is a ModX since its not a 100% correct clone.
