inside a 3" circle with good ammo.
A gun that shoots greater than 3MOA is a failed gun that will not be accepted by gov't, so 3MOA is what's called the
threshold (minimum performance level), with 1MOA being the
objective (ideal performance level). Most fall well inside the spec, and the median for fielded gov't guns is around 2MOA.
Quality of ammo will affect your print. If you're testing, spend the money to use match grade ammo in the 55-62gr range.
Quality of the shooter affects it even more, so there's that....
Your barrel still may or not be ganked. I'm sorta wondering if shooting ammo over 62gr in a 1-in-9 barrel may have contributed to what you're seeing. I don't know enough to say that shooting the heavier stuff will wear the barrel faster, but bullets longer/heavier than 62gr don't stabilize well in your twist rate.
