[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 903589, member: 10291"] My R15 varmint, 24" triangular barreled model, is a sub .5MOA with hand loads and factory 55gr Rem Accutips and 55gr VMAx, better with hand loads.. Both factory rounds will consistently hit beer can sized targets at 500 yards. My DPMS 24" heavy barreled upper loaded with 69gr SMK's is .25-.5 MOA, generally closer to .25 MOA. I have used this rifle successfully competing in 200-300 yard egg shoots against bolt rifles. My Colt and Bushmaster standard fare 20" HBar's generally keep their shots in .75MOA with Rem bulk FMJ 55gr, green tips, and Hornady VMax. All my rifles have 1:9 twist and I shoot 55-69gr ammo. Years ago i bought a Colt HBar. I wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise I have been quite impressed with the accuracy potential(and reliability) of the AR15 platform. A tight upper/lower lock up, decent trigger, free floated barrel, and finding the right load are key to maximizing accuracy.IMO. [/QUOTE]
