<span style="font-weight: bold">I'm talking about 10-shot groups at 100 yards. What are you getting with your AR-10?</span>
Not 3-shot or 5-shot groups! Almost any decent rifle with any ammo can luck into good 3-shot or 5-shot groups.
I just got my first "famous maker" $3K AR-10 style rifle. I cannot get it to shoot under 1.1" 10-shot groups at 100 yards.
I handload everything. I've tried 175 SMKs, 155 SMKs, 155 Scenars, 155 Noslers, 168 Noslers, 155 Berger Hybrids, and 155.5 Bergers. Three different powder types with all the bullets, Varget, H4895 and XBR 8208. I've run charges every 0.5 grain and up to 1.0 grain over book.
I shoot thousands of rounds of ammo through my stainless barreled AR15's every year in competition. With a properly developed load, they all shoot under 3/4" 10-shot groups when shot off bags.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I've tried shooting from a bipod with rear bag. Front and rear bags seem to work better though.
