What *CAN* you shoot on an average and a great day with a scope and AR rifle at 100 yards?

[Dred]

Radical 16" SS w/ 1-8 LPVO (yes, really ... most accurate is a Radical)

All day, every day 1 - 1.5 inches

Stars align .5 inch

Both assume sandbagged forend, with human rear support. One day I'm going to rest the rifle and try for one hole at 100.

What ammo @Dred? Always nice to find a budget gun that punches above its class. My Anderson predator has impressed me many times but it's a beast at 24" with a heavy SS barrel. Also runs a true 223 chamber so I have to seat rounds accordingly for it or shoot box ammo.

Question, what did truing entail? Was it off centerline, sitting high, or something else. I have seen a few ill-fitting uppers mostly a gap between the top and bottom.

Had to detail strip the entire upper, using this tool attached to a drill using some jewelers compound and slowly apply pressure to the upper while in a vise basically milling it.
You could see the barrel off center about a 1/16 of an inch to the left.

That's the Federal 55g that is sold on stripper clips in 420 rd cans. Good, but nothing spe ial.

Yeah, I sit down on a bench also so that my human rear is supported.

Nice shooting.

My best AR shooting was some test rounds that I loaded. Shot it with a bull barrel. 3/8” group at 100.

I now load that load for all my 223 rounds.

Developed an AR10 load for my 6.5cm that shoots .446 at 100yds. Tried but could not get better than that group.

Went to the indoor range today using aac 77gr otm 5.56 and iron sites this was my group at 100, pretty decent besides when I jerked the trigger on the 2 upper left rounds.
