    For reference, these are groups from a .223 T3 with ammunition it doesn't like. It will shoot much better with a load it does like.

    @gimp yep all good and well but Stocky shouldnt have that many poor performing projectiles.
    If that is the case he needs a new barrel to do better. But some careful investigation of 1hr might find an issue first.

    I've tried 3 projectiles? 2 of those the same style. I never said I need to do better. Eventually I'm going to have had a number of barrels on their rifle. No the pins have clearance. I've checked the functional issues like binding mags etc. It may just be a poor barrel. That's fine. I have 2 more here already for the next stage of testing but I felt factory barrel data is most relevant to start with.

    Your claiming to know it can't possibly shoot that bad but the idea is to prove that rather than just guess.
