Here are two groups I shot yesterday, first time I have been able to get to the outdoor range in a while.  Cold and wet out and I was pretty rushed for time, but I wanted to finally shoot some of this ammunition from this gun.
Understood that only a compilation of many groups can truly demonstrate the quality potential of any ammunition, gun and marksman combination.  This is what I have for now.  All shots fired from the bench using a bipod.  16" 1:7 BCM mid-length SOCOM profile barrel, Strike Eagle scope, ALG ACT trigger.
50 yard slow fire.  I thought I fired 5 rounds but from the picture I can only really see 4.


100 yards rapid fire. Slowing down and using good marksmanship I know I can shrink this group.

I  traded for 9 boxes of the older green box stuff to try through my tAR barrel build.

I've never had great results from ppu 75.

Thanks for taking a look.
This carbine is something I built for the local 3 gun / action matches; sort of a poor man's RECCE.  I usually just use my HD/SD guns for these, but I wanted something different and got a real good deal on the Strike Eagle.  The PPU is cheap and available at the Armory (local to me) so should work for now.  It gets me some trigger time which I really need. (Tired of laying on the floor dry firing and practicing NPOA all the time).
There is a thread in the BCM forum "Goin Full RECCE" if you want to see the build.
I am also getting good results with green tip (LC M855) but ranges frown on that if you are shooting their steel targets.  Shooting at 1x at the indoor range, I am getting one ragged hole groups with Federal M193.  
Not really set up to load rifle, working on that but focusing on 308 initially.  
Thanks again.

I will keep an eye peeled for it.  Thanks.

I suggest you try some Horn. 75gr Steel match.... You can still find it for $19 / 50 rds.

If your barrel likes the Horn. 75gr bullet ( barrels are fussy ) ... it should shoot much better then your PPU 75gr is , at 100yds..

No offense to your ammo choice... but I think it isn't as much "you" as it is the ammo.

I have seen numerous "inexpensive" ammos perform great at 100yds.

MEN 56gr FMJ, 100yds, benched, scoped, bagged....rapid fire
