    Load development. 55g Berger flat based match bullets in a Savage .223 12 FV. I spent a lot of time playing with 69g SMK's, which are great at longer distances. Loaded up some El-cheapo Dogtowns and they were lights out at 100 yards. My middle powder load group, 100 yards, 10x SWFA, Harris bipod. The loads higher and lower were sub MOA.

    OK.. finally got out to shoot. Sorry for the crude measurements. Ya'll get the idea. I'm gonna need some help from ya'll. My AR is shooting like big CACA. It's all over the place. I was about to make it my thermal coyote gun... But that ain't gonna happen now that I'm doubting it.

    I'll break the ice for us regular shooters who can't do 1 moa.

    CBC 16" Blackout upper, 1:8 twist, Hera free float handguard on Bushmaster lower.
    Nikon P223 3x-32 BDC scope
    MAI 125 gr Speer TNT supersonic @ around 2200 fps
    69 yo eyes

    Last nine rounds of the day. 100 yards off the bench using a carpet covered 4x4 as front support. Upper group of 5 rounds with one flyer at 5 O'clock. Lower group of 4 rounds after scope adjustment with one flyer at 2 O'clock. Finally getting the hang of it and ran out of ammo, heh.

    Try better ammo in your AR assuming you have checked all scope mounts for tightness.

    Besides that very nice shooting.

    In some AR's ammo makes all the difference. My 6.5 won't shoot Hornady Black at all. If I reload Hornady bullets it will shoot one ragged hole. Just keep trying different loads and you'll find one that your gun likes eventually.

    pics are years ago, been longer than I care to admit since shooting.

    All shooting was done 2-handed, free-standing.
    The P938 below I thought was defective when I first bought it. I had to re-learn/re-invent my whole shooting. Went from weaver to isosceles, straight up to leaning forward, head low, chin square.. only "unorthodox" thing I do is my trigger finger is closer to the crook. Oh and I'm cross-eyed dominant so I squint like a weirdo

    XDs 45 7 rounds? 7y

    no idea. 7y probably

    P938 with Blazer. First 200 rounds were grouping 12" at 7y. Had to re-learn shooting.

    Probably 115gr Xtreme Bullets and max load unique.
