Just got some from PSA. I haven't shot any yet, but here's the powder listed on the box in case that means anything.

Check your neighbors...I have had UPS deliver my stuff there. I once found a small package containing a new BCG sitting at their front door a week after it was "delivered".
I shot some CBC yesterday and my BCM 16" pencil barrel really liked it. One 5 shot group was .80" while another had 4 shots in a .40" cluster while the fifth went wild trashing it. Most of my rifles prefer Black Hills or the IMI load for the 77gr but CBC is close behind. I was surprised how well it shot in the BCM barrel. |

Gunslinger, it's a beautiful rifle. How does it do with lighter bullets? It could be that it just doesn't like 77 grain ammunition, for some arcane reason; at least not the two brands you've tried. Don't give up yet. Handloads might be an option. If you don't reload, perhaps you might have a buddy who will mentor you and allow you to use his equipment. Best of luck!

If you guys really want to check the accuracy of a specific round, you really need to remove the human variable and only allow the ammo and the barrel as the only variables. I use a Caldwell Lead-Sled for this. It holds the rifle steady and negates any human induced motion. It's the only way to shoot a ladder test for working up loads.  Saw them on sale for 99 bucks the other day.  |

Installed a new upper on one of my AR's 14.5 MicroMoa barrel, while sighting in shot a 5 shot group with this ammo and aimpoint T-1. Was so impressed I'm going to throw one of my scopes on it and shoot a few 10 shot groups next chance I get out.
