Carmel at 200

[u/Embarrassed-Gur1769]

Trying more ammo, this time at 200m.
Didnt measure the groups yet, but everything other than geco and hornady did pretty well i think.

Still no problems with the rifle

I'm not a distance shooter but I saw groups from American ARs at 300 yards and they were a lot a lot better. I know it's invalid comparison and else but is this considered ok for 5.56 platform in Canada?

[u/Helpful-Sock-4988 → u/Strangecanuck]

cause its all we can get. if you could buy a sick ass accurate AR very few people would buy these.

[u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 → u/Helpful-Sock-4988]

Yea, this is exactly it. I have a MR308 and MR223 locked up. If i could use them, i would definitely not buy the carmel.

This thing isnt a DMR. Be realistic with expectations. Its a 556 rifle with good ergos, ambi controls, takes AR mags. Not sub moa.

On slide 4 the nosler 77 grain, was that a 5 round group or just a 4? If it was a 5 then where did the 5th shot go lol. That FGMM wasn't a great group either but everything else does seem pretty okay, minus the last slide.

Now let's see the 10 shot groups

[u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 → u/GodsGiftToWrenching]

It was a 5 shot group, no idea where 5th went. I looked all over for it and couldnt find it, so i shot the group a 2nd time

Also did you happen to try out any 62 grain X tac green tips ?

I have a boat load of that stuff and that will be primarily what ill be running when mine arrives

[u/goshathegreat → u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

62gr M855 is not designed for accuracy, the green tip is designed for penetration, however it also causes inconsistencies between bullets, which causes it to be more inaccurate than M193.

[u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 → u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

I tried m855 at 88m in my previous post. Not at 200m

[u/DonJuanPrawns]

Dude did you shoot the group's with your eyes closed? 😂

[u/22GageEnthusiast]

Restricted or NR?

[u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 → u/22GageEnthusiast]

R

Hmmm, your previous posts at 100 was similar to what I got, but 200 is very very drastically different. I shot from a table with a shooting stand

[u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 → u/Buckisop]

What are your results at 200m?
Could be variety of factors.
My reticle is 1 MOA, 8x zoom.
Maybe your stand is more stable.
Could be the wind, or barrel heat, etc

[u/DecentCompetition754]

Try IMI systems ammo. Its Israeli. Might match to the rifle better.

[u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

What optic are you running?

Do you think this would shoot tighter with a 24x to 36x target scope at 200 yards or is this just is what it is for accuracy?

Do you think the 18.6 NR barrel could produce better results?

[u/Embarrassed-Gur1769 → u/Mysterious_Sleep7443]

I used kahles k18i, so its only got 8x zoom.
Im sure if you used a 24 or 36x scope and a bipod, it would group better, but thats not a realistic setup for me on this rifle
