Well, I think you hit the nail on the head. I am expecting too much from this gun. I reload, and I reload a lot. Have tried my pet loads in RR 223 and they don’t work in this gun … or maybe they do work as well as I can expect! Have worked up other loads like I do in all my guns. Nothing shoots worth crap. You would think that eventually something would work out.
I am shooting 55 gr Nosler over 23g TAC and that seems to be about as good as it gets. 2-3" which is disappointing, but then again, I guess my expectations are all out of whack.
All my other AR’s (223, 7.62x39, 308 Win and 300 Blackout) all shoot well with the proper load. But I am pulling my hair out over this one.
I guess I will use it on the range shooting steel and running drills. Use the Rock River 223 for the coyotes and longer range steel shooting and such.
The Rock River 308 shoots like a dream. It does not have a free float barrel. It is a mid length a4 and shoots down to 1/2" usually its around an inch. I put the Magpul MOE front end on it though. Fantastic gun. I can only imagine the accuracy I could get if I put a free float tube on it.
