I just received my PSA order of their 77gr OTM ammo. Pictures below show the results. To me it’s not too bad for .55 a pop.

What is the normal accuracy with loads developed for your rifles?
I shoot pretty solid with a gasser and bolt gun. I’ll see if I can find some from the small gassers. The proof barreled gasser is a .7 rifle with a good load. The bolt gun is a .3 to .5 gun with a solid load. I didn’t take my time with the AAC groups. I’m not saying they could be tighter but I will find out next time I’m out.

Very respectable !
FWIW, from my barrel, 20" Krieger 1n7.7 twist .223 Wylde chrono data

AAC 77gr OTM, Lot # SCL2CF081
Av. 2729fps, SD 26.4, ES 84fps
Previous chrono test..The AAC 5.56 77gr averaged 2765fps. SD of 14 ( ... I really need a chrono that I can have the readings at the finger tips ) and an ES of 39.

FWIW, the Best group of 75gr SBBT did 10rds like this, quite happy with that one !
