for those that own the 16 inch version of the PredatAR 556, what sort of accuracy are you getting? cold and hot?

thanks.

My first 5 to 10 shots with XM193 at 100 yards are sub moa (right under). After a 30 round clip I can expect 1 to 2 moa. That is with about ~5 seconds between shots.

I would expect match ammo and hand loads to be even better. YMMV

The test target on my Pred556 was a .694...

Might find them to be more accurate with 62 grain versus the 55 grain of the XM193

Mine was 0.794, guess yours is nicer.

I have only shot groups with Rem umc 55 fmj. It was grouping from about 1 to 1.5 moa, which is pretty good for that ammo.
Shot some Hornady 75 gn match this weekend on 200 yd steel... with a 3.5 acog it was boringly simple. Shot after shot on top of each other.

I was worried about the barrel heating up after rapid strings, I'm not anymore. the barrel was smoking hot and it was still stacking shots on top of each other.

I think unless your shooting the pred like a SAW, you won't notice a significant poa change.

Get in line now... you won't regret it!
