[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 1196587, member: 66495"] I had a custom upper 204 AR15 built by Specialized Dynamics. With cheap factory ammo it was so so. I could get 1-2" groups. I agree with mtwarych 100%. Once I started reloading for it, man did it shoot well. In fact, it's my most accurate rifle of all my rifles. I can consistently shoot sub .5" groups. My best to date was .29" at 100 yards. My go to load is as follows: Hornady 204 Brass CCI BR-4 Primers 32 gr Nosler Varmint Ballistic Tips COAL of 2.260" 24 grs of Reloader 10x Another thing that makes HUGE difference on AR's in my personal opinion is the TRIGGER. I'm so used to bolt guns, that shooting a two stage trigger was just horrible for me. I shot my friends AR's with Geissle and Timney two stage triggers, and I just couldn't shoot them. I ended up trying a Velocity 3lb single stage trigger, and I fell in love. It's cheaper than most of the high end triggers, but the quality of it, and the performance of it was amazing. It feels almost exactly like a quality bolt gun trigger. Hope this helps. Here is a pic of my 204.
