    I tried a search with no luck, so.... does anybody have any experience with the SSA 77 gr OTM 5.56 round? They advertise its a Mk262 cloneish round. I'm specifically interested how it compares in accuracy to the Black Hills 77 MK round.
     
    Re: Silver State Armory 5.56 Accuracy?

    I use this ammo. But I have never used the Black Hills ammo. I will say it shoots tighter than anything else I have ever shot out of my LMT. Also the Barnes 70gr TSX is a very nice load from SSA.

    I get about 1/2 groups from 50 yards using a CompM4 on my LMT MRP from the Bench.

    Hope that helps

    Well, I just ordered 100 rounds of the SSA 77gr OTM from Cabellas to try out.

    I'm trying to use the factory ammo to do some troubleshooting with my presicion AR. I've been working up some laods for it and I can't seem to get any consistant accuracy even approaching what I got out of my BH load. SO I want to go back to factory ammo and see if its just me and my reloads or if something has changed with the gun. That's why I was trying to find something as accurate as the BH 77gr load. With my Larue SPR, I was getting consistant .5-.6 inch groups at 100 yds off the bench. My reloads are barely cracking 1" and are showing some really weird inconsistancies in group patterns.
