Might be me, cause I'm an unwashed heathen, but you're getting sub 1" groups at 100 yards and 2700+ FPS out of a new rifle with a rookie shooter, what again is he griping about?

How far away is he going to shoot targets that the mythical extra 200 FPS will come into play?

IMHO, you're there.

Otherwise, 69gr Sierra Tipped Match King, 24.5grs of Benchmark, Rem 7 1/2 primers, 2.255 OAL. PMC brass or whatever commercial.

You should get 2825fps from a 16 inch.

2900 is a pipe dream, and even if you can get there with a 69 grain bullet in a 223/5.56, I doubt you'll have a group, it'll be more like a gathering.


1 5 shot group and its a "sub moa" rifle. I agree with antelope sniper. The 1 5 shoot group shows great potential. Id still like to see how it really fares in the black rifle challenge here. Thats where we will see if its truly sub moa or not. Im also surprised no one is suggesting AR comp powder. Thats where id begin and probably end.
