This is my second range trip with the LaRue. First time I was using factory ammo, while CorBon is excellent ammo, it is still factory. The gun was consistently grouping under an inch with it.

Well, I loaded up some 69 and 77 grain SMK's in front of Varget in LC 1x cases.

Results were excellent! At 100 yards anyway. I had several groups a couple hundreths over 1/2 moa. Several measured .55 and .6. These were all 5 shot groups fired off a bipod and rear bag. At 200, the results were not as good. Didnt even try 300.

At 200 I was getting a solid 1 moa, but nowhere near the apx 1/2moa I got at 100. But this is just the first round of load development. This is my first precision AR and I am digging it.

I know they are really light, but my 16" really likes the black hills 52 grain match. Shoots .45 @ 100 yds with a can on the end, but that was single loading. havent tried magazine feeding or longer distances yet. But ya these stealths shoot good, even the shorter ones.
