Making small groups has NOTHING to do with making a shot off-hand. Why ANYONE would casually pick a target then shoot offhand, then measure their group size makes no sense.
Measuring groups is for precision. If I want to make small groups, I'll take my time and place my shots. If I want to shoot offhand, I don't care what my precision is because my goal is to HIT the target - if I wanted to make small groups, I'd have made sure I had every advantage for precision, including a rest, scope, etc. The shooting you're describing is measured by accuracy, yet you're asking for precision measurements - NO serious shooter is going to even bother based on your pretenses.
When I actually aim to shoot small groups, I shoot < 1", both with and without irons; and yes, it's very easy with the right ammo. I also have over $4,500 invested in my main AR, so feel free to call me on the B.S. factor again.
