    I don't know about never going to happen, just very very unlikely. 200yds, 55gr AE, Noveske Recon, 3rds, 3/8th". Click on the picture to make it larger.

    Is it more of the gun or shooter? I was referring to a bench rest vice and perfect shooting conditons.......

    2-4 inches probably very good for my barrel and setup..

    Shoot 10rds and let us know how the groups looks.

    Even if you took the shooter out of the equation with what your working with its not going to happen. Just to give you an idea 1MOA at 200yards is 2inches and the gun by itself that you are getting isnt going to be able to handle it. The ammo by itself isnt going to do that. If you want MOA you need something built for it plus the right ammo.

    with th right ammo...it MAY be possible...these were 55 grain FMJBT handloads...
    10 shots at 200 yards. The 3 that are in the tiny little cluster are shots 1,3, and 7.
    Fired rested on sandbags, from my S&W MP 15...

    Thats great shooting, what type of setup are you running?

    I am new to the whole MOA use, when calculating your group is it the average distance from all the shots?


    I am a deer hunter by nature and basically can repeatedly hit game at 200 yds with my .270 and when taget shooting have a 5 shot group with in 4-5 inches circle.

    Heres my setup...



    I didn't have a scope on it when I shot this group, just a good sight picture, a firm rest, and a gentle squeeze.
    Measure the distance between the widest shots. I'm just a deer hunter myself, but I'm also just a guy that loves to shoot long range...I've never competed because, as an OTR truck driver, I've never had time. Some days I get lucky...

    EDIT: Forgive me for the oily AR...it was down for cleaning when I took that pic...notice the missing charging handle and the BCG is not in there either. And mine is a 1 in 9" twist...I just thought I's ay that good accuracy isn't impossible from an AR, just very unlikely.

    Noone mentioned the Remington 62gr Core Lokt Bunded Ultra Premium (whatever else adjective they added to it, its a huge line of hyperbole). It is being introduced by remington along with "their" new AR-15. I can only see it as peing produced with a STRONG wink and a nudge towards the deer-hunting camp. Testing indicates it should perform pretty well.

    That being said, the Corbon 62gr DPX load is awesome from what I have seen.

    Its been a couple years, but IIRC FM 23-9, (Rifle Marksmanship manual) has test results regarding the firing of m193 out of a m16a2. In short, the shooter was able to shoot an A2 zero'd with m855 and an A2 zero'd with m193 to no noticeable difference at 300m.
