M855A1 accuracy test.

[JGifford]

This rifle normally shoots 1.5-1.8MOA with Barnes and Gold Dot. This is not the best, nor the worst group of the day, but it is the group that I felt I did my part on the best. Every shot I called as "on". This was all gun/ammo. performance is slightly worse than the MK318 SOST (2.5moa or so on average) that I have, and slightly better than M855 that I typically shoot. The action cycled with authority, but nothing that concerned me. It felt like good, stout 5.56. The brass cases showed slight smearing just like hot M193. The steel backers at the public range were completely un-damaged (but have some gold colored smears on them now), but are also at like a 10-20* angle.
