Hi guys, so this morning I went to the range to see about accuracy regarding a cpl. types of duty/shtf ammo through my recent MRP CQB project. I like to use a honest evaluation method using 100yd. distances and 10rd. groups. I simply swapped the normal T-1 for this build w. a NXS compact 2.5-10x24 w. compact mil dot ret., and threw a bi-pod on it. All groups were fired prone with a bi-pod, with no support in the rear. The barrel is a Rock 10.5" CL 1/7 5.56 w. a standard A2 f/h.
After firing the three shtf loads I realized I wanted to let this dude off the lease with some more precision based loads, however unfortunately I had not planned on doing a true precision/accuracy evaluation and thereby left just about every accurate load I like to use at the house. Luckily I had 1bx. of Remington 55gr. Accu tip and always have Monarch brass 55gr. FMJBT for range use so I went ahead a shot a few groups with this stuff.
I unequivocally CHOKED my ass off on the far right group and I am absolutely sick over it. The furthest flyer was no shit the 8th rd. of the group...somehow managed to hit the mark w. the 9th even though I knew I had just ruined something unbelievable and finished up with a sloppy ass final shot that is the small flyer. For some who don't chase the precision aspect of AR's prob. cannot really understand, however some here will know just what it feels like when you have the first 5..6...7 rds of a group within or less than a half inch. It's a complete mind f**k given how much likelihood that the last few rounds of a group always open up on a 10rd group at least a shade, and as always a flyer is just a jerk away.
After being floored today with this little 10.5" CL barrel's accuracy, count on a follow up report involving 55gr. Vmax, TAP T2, BH's 68gr. HPBT, and maybe even a 69gr. and 77gr. SMK load. I certainly expect this barrel to be well within sub moa territory with some precision type ammo and that is quite the surprise at least for myself.
eta...in case it's non legible what the ammo types are...Hornady TAP 60gr. Barrier, Federal TRU, Remington Accutip 55gr., Monarch 55gr. FMJBT, and Barnes 55gr. TSX
