I'm only getting 2-MOA or tighter groups using my 24" Bushmaster A2 (non-DCM and non-varminter) using a Tapco detach carry handle. I can hit a 0.5" diameter circle at 25yd without any problems (I think its equivalent to a human sized target at about 500-600yd) Should it be tighter? |

FWIW, every rifle is different..... Some rifles shoot quite well with the "hotter" XM-193. The vast majority of my ARs over the years have shot tighter groups using the Winchester Q3131A M193 round that's not as hot, but well above the velocity of civilian fodder. YMMV, Mike ps - IMO you should be stocking the M193 that groups best in your rifle regardless of what I or anyone else says.....

Thanks everyone. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't my rifle. I don't think I could screw up 25yd shots THAT much which is why I started off with this range to test it out (up to about 170 rd through the new barrel). The barrel is a Bushmaster 24" NM Heavy Barrel (same one used in their Target Rifles), its just 4150 steel with a chrome lined bore and chamber. 1 in 9 twist. Its a pre-ban/no-ban config with bayonet lug and A2 flash hider. |
