Re: Pics of 10 shot groups with factory ammo? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: sweetbeard</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I like all the 5 shot groups in the 10 shot group thread</div></div> Lol. It's what most people are used to shooting. I've...

Re: Long time lurker looking for feedback re accuracy BigJohn141: I agree with you about now taking the time to just become a better shot with the set-up I have. This is what I hope to do this summer as I have access to a shooting spot that allows us to reach 500 yds. Another observation...

Re: Long time lurker looking for feedback re accuracy So, pretty much what I gather from this thread is: 1) I should be pleased that my upper is shooting the BH 77 round well, as it appears to be a SUB-MOA load outta my rifle. 2) It is the luck of the draw if a barrel will shoot SD-type...

Re: Pics of 10 shot groups with factory ammo? Nice group, save for that one flyer. Seems like 10 shot groups for your set-up would be equally impressive.

Is there a thread showing how well factory ammo can do? If not, can some of you guys put up pics of what your rifle is capable of with factory ammo? I would like to see some self-defense ammo in the mix, if possible, with 10 round groups (but 5 will do if that is all you have). In addition...

Re: Long time lurker looking for feedback re accuracy In looking through some other threads here, I've seen some rifles shoot some pretty damn small groups, .6 MOA or less. Impressive, but those are some pricey builds compared to my humble little set-up.

Re: Long time lurker looking for feedback re accuracy Yep.

Re: Long time lurker looking for feedback re accuracy So, it appears that this barrel, when using BH 77 gr ammo, is holding its own against known quality SS barrels.

Re: Long time lurker looking for feedback re accuracy I agree about the chambering aspect, albeit that is based on my very limited knowledge.

Up front, I want to highlight that I have no experience with precision rifles, or precision shooting, so take that into consideration when reading the following... 1) I understand that most barrels will favor a specific load and shoot that one particular load much better than other loads. Do...

Re: Expectations re accuracy with various loads I am glad you chimed in. I sent the first barrel back, because it was grouping like crap. The guy that put my upper together agreed and replaced it. Right now, the second barrel only has about 70 rounds through it, which were all for accuracy...

Re: Expectations re accuracy with various loads Ok, so having a barrel that will shoot a variety of ammo (and I'm not talking about practice crap or bulk, but quality OTM or SD loads) is a rare exception. After the responses that I have read here, I am content with how my rifle is shooting. I...

Re: Expectations re accuracy with various loads What you guys are saying makes perfect sense and there are more variables that are present in factory loads that I did not take into account, which affect a bullet's performance. However, I am fortunate that my rifle shoots BH 77gr...

Re: Expectations re accuracy with various loads In re-reading my post, I see how unrealistic it is to expect one barrel to shoot different match loads equally well. My rifle shoots BH 77 exceptionally well and Hornady 75 gr (steel cased) ammo "good enough." I expect that the standard 75 gr...

I'm pretty much limited to the precision semi-auto game, so please forgive this post if the statement below is not very well constructed or focused. Would you guys agree that any barrel (let's use my 16" nitrided Rock Creek barrel, 1x8, with modified Wylde chamber) will favor (1), or maybe (2)...
