Shot some at 200 yards after getting my offset dialed in. This stuff shoots so well out of WOA barrels! These are consecutive from a single 20 round mag.

I really like the house 77 otm and get great performance. I have mostly switched over to that. I still run black hills , imi, and asc smk from time to time. I do need to get some tmk and barnes tsx and see how that performs in my 3 14.5 builds.

I had a couple great groups at 200 with the AAC SMK as well, but I had one completely miss the target.

Wish I had a chrony to see if it was under or over charged, or what.

The 75 and both the 77gr have shot great from my 223 Wylde bolt gun, however I do keep having occasional fliers or light primer strikes. (The light primer strikes are due to my action/chamber, and not something people with a semi auto would likely experiance)

So was that with the Sierra bullets? Have you tried their house brand 77s?

That being said, those are most impressive groups @ 200 yards for factory ammo at an incredible price. Can you tell me about your rifle?

I’m looking forward to trying their house 77gr stuff.

It’s a Naranjo custom. Mega billet upper and lower, Icon defense 13inch rail, WOA 16inch SPR barrel, Rifle buffer system (ARFX stuff) a trigger tech duty 3 pounder and EBCG. I used a MK5HD 18 power scope but I struggled with mirage…the gun was hot.

Great Shooting!
Any chance you could shoot and record a 10 shot group at that distance?

I was rained out but this weekend looks dry. I'll throw in some 55 Gr. HPBT GameKings too. The rifle loves these as well.

I have had similar results with that ammo, although not out of my WOA barrel. My Criterion barrel shoots around .7 MOA. WOA to me seems very overrated. 1.5 MOA at best barrel.

I have two WOAs at the moment. One seems to shoot about any decent ammo around MOA. The other is a bit picky, but if it’s a load it likes will put it into closer to .5 than 1. For the price I’ve been more than happy. My proof impresses me, but half the time my WOAs outshoot it for a fraction of the price.

The load my WOA shoots the best are 69 GMMM and the 77 AAC. I have some 77 TMK reloads that shoot great out of everything, except my WOA. In my WOA, they shoot around 3 or 4 MOA. It's really strange. It seems to be picky like you said.

Okay...I shot a different upper (WOA 3 Gun 2.3) today. I had to sight in my offset irons and new scope (LRHS G2). The reticle is not intended for precision so I dialed up and held at one of the finer sub tensions.

Hope AAC can refine their SMK load just a little more for consistent velocity but otherwise, not bad for cheap SMK and OTM. I would say both my WOA (16 SPR and 18 3 Gun shoot this stuff about the same, with the slight edge going to the 16 SPR as it seems more heat tolerant and more consistent out of Mega Billet upper). 3 gun is nested in a Zev forged upper. 3 gun WOA is also over-gassed (gamer gas) but that's by design.

Wind: Mild 6-10mph R to L
Temp: Warm 81F
Humid: 28%
Ammo: AAC OTM77 and AAC 77SMK
Velo: OTM77 2660-2710  SMK77 2673-2720

Bipod and rear bag, concrete bench...My least favorite type of shooting but prone on the bench range is not allowed.

@ayougo

Thanks for updated info! The 77 gr OTM did pretty damn well at 200 yards. I was on the fence about buying some, but will purchase some for sure, now. The SMK loading is out of stock, but will keep my eye out for it.

Once again, thanks for the update and good shootin’!
