[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2536808, member: 118816"] I recently purchased an Anderson AM-15 NATO 5.56 version, which is about as Plain Jane as one can get. Keep in mind that this is pretty much a service grade rifle, nothing fancy about it. Out of the box it shot groups between 3.2" down to 0.8 inches. What was the difference you ask? The ammunition. The el-cheapo ammo that is on sale everywhere would not shoot very good while the Winchester M855 62 grain green tip, which was far from the most expensive, matter of a fact is one of the least expensive tried. All were factory loads with the 62 gr doing better than the more prevalent 55 gr cannon fodder. I have found that if you take the time to figure out what ammo your rifle likes they all shoot pretty good without a super dooper match grade barrel that costs more than the entire rifle did. I might be able to decrease the group size by hand loading but why when one can get inexpensive ammo that shoots sub MOA at a price lower than one can reload. [/QUOTE]
