    Took the SPS Tac out today and put rounds #94-171 through it ((3) 69gr FGMM and fifteen different 5 round groups with handloads working up a load with the 69gr SMK). All shooting was done at just 100yds, I'll move back when I get a few loads to compare.

    Went just under MOA with the FGMM stuff, and then 14 of the 15 handloaded groups of 5 shots went under MOA. Three groups went under 1/2MOA with one of them being .262" for five shots.

    Brass was range pick-up once fired from AR's that was prepped minimally (no weight-sorting, and was slightly dented/scratched).

    Still have some 75gr A-Max and 75gr Bergers to put through this rifle before I'm done with load development. At least I know that there are a few loads that make this relatively cheap rifle a blast to shoot.
