I went to sight my new rifle and scope in today. Started at 50 yards to make sure I was on paper, and here are the results:
These ten round groups were shot with 68 grain Hornady Match ammunition at 50 yards. My POA on the first target was six o'clock on the target.

To rule out the rifle or me as the problem I shot 10 rounds of 55 grain Wolf Gold:

In total I shot forty rounds of the 68 grain Hornady Match. All of my "groups" with the ammunition were similar to the group pictured.
My upper was purchased from DSG Arms, it was test fired by DSG employees to ensure MOA accuracy at 100 yards using match ammunition, and has the following specifications:

- 16" 1:8 inch twist mid length match grade barrel
- Black nitride BCG
- BCM 15" KMR Alpha rail
- Kahles k16i scope on a Larue mount
- Mega Arms lower with Hiperfire 3G trigger
I am certain the rifle is not the problem. Unfortunately, I did not have any other ammunition to test it with. I will be testing it with 69 grain SMK Match ammunition from Stillwood that works great out of a JP 1:8 twist barrel.
The purpose of the post is learn about other shooter's experiences with this round, and to pass the word on regarding my experience with it.
