[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1131441, member: 90399"] Thanks! That's a good idea. I forgot about that ongoing thread. It's funny that I originally started loading for this AR using 69gr Nosler bullets because I wanted to stretch it out a little further. Never really got them to shoot anything better than 1.75 inches at 100 yards. The 55gr stuff usually shot decent 1-1.25 inches. I go down in bullet weight to 40gr and honestly all of my groups yesterday were under an inch. With the pic above being the obvious winner. This group really made me question many things I "know" to be true about shooting accurately. If it's not raining tomorrow I'm going to try to reproduce these results. If I can I will be very excited. One side note; I typed up the original post late last night. I should have said that I don't have a $200+ "drop in" trigger in the rifle. It's mostly a stock trigger, although I did change out the springs and added a joeboboutfitters set screw. That misinformation was weighing on me after I reread my post this morning. Now my conscious is clear again. :) [/QUOTE]
