223 VS 5.56, VS 17 Remington-A Practical Comparison in Gel

In this video, a good friend and I test two loads manufactured by Aguila over a chronograph, and in @Clear Ballistics 10% synthetic gelatin. We also tested a 17 Remington load just for fun, to see what it would do next to FMJ loads from 223 and 5.56.
The loads tested are as follows:

55gr Aguila 223 FMJ
62gr Aguila 5.56 NATO FMJ
25gr Remington 17 Remington HP

Tests are done to show a typical performance between 223 and 5.56 commonly available loads, and selection of loads from the same manufacturer was prioritized over keeping the grain weight the same. For a more scientific comparison of chamber dimensions and pressure specs between 223 Rem and 5.56 NATO, check out @gavintoobe’s video from Ultimate Reloader.

All testing in this video was performed on a private range, and by qualified and trained individuals in a safe manner. This video is for entertainment purposes only, and The Reloading Craft claims no responsibility for viewers actions.
