As a follow up, the winchester M855 seems to have the same POI as Black Hills blue box 68 gr. out of the same gun out AT 100 yrds.

That S&B SS109 was some nice ammo. Hot and very accurate. It's a shame you can't find it anymore.

I hope to get some BH MK262 soon but at this point I have never shot BH 75/77 grain but even after shooting BH Red box 55gr FMJ I don't get into the milsurp much anymore. I do shoot some Federal XM193 maybe one box per outting. Seems I keep wanting to verify the groups my rifle gets with it....
Federal XM193, all groups with a RRA 20" AR at 100 yards...


Typica of Blackhills 55gr FMJ with 20" AR at 100 yards...
 

Fellow arfcommer's handloads, 55gr. Sierra Blitzking (wish I could get more of this ammo)...
 

I dunno about you guys but the LC M855 and Guat M193 I have provides 100 yard groups in the 3 inch or bigger range. Good'nuff for center of mass and plinking but not much fun for paper target groups.
I bought my AR rifle new and now it has to have 7000 to 8000 rounds thru it including two (2) rounds of steel cased Wolf.

You know, there was a time when shooting Black Hills came at a price premium...but i paid it anyway as every flavor they offered shot extremely accurate in my rifles.

Now it is equall or LESS cost than many other brands/flavors and has become the bargain...standard...for me. Even the 60 rain SP's and 60 gr V-Max's are great
