    Not really sure if I should put this here or in reloading but I am interested in hearing what kind of groups folks are getting from either loaded factory ammo or loading their own with the 62 grain FMJ .223 ammo/bullet.

    I am thinking about buying some bulk of either now that prices have come down a little but I don’t want a repeat of the poor accuracy performance I got from the last bulk supply I bought of 55 grain FMJ. And yes, I realize its not match ammo or bullets...
     
    My own loads of Ramshot Tac give me about 1.5 inches at 100 in mild wind with the 62 grainer. 16 inch Smith and Wesson M&P 15-T, Vortex scope. The same gun can do .75 inches with the 69 gr SMK with no wind.
