Accuracy Issues
Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2018 11:34 am
I haven’t been getting acceptable accuracy out of my 450B AR-15 setup and was hoping you all could shed some light on this.
Maybe I am being picky, but I can’t seem to get better than a 3” group at 100 yards. Groups are more like 5” if you count the 2 flyers I had in a 10 shot 100 yard group I shot yesterday. I have had similar results to this in the past as well.
My setup:
Wilson Combat lower assembled with premium parts from JP, V Seven Weapon Systems, and a very crisp Geissele SSA-E trigger.
The upper is from Next Level Arms. The upper seems to be very well built and uses a Tromix barrel. It feels very solid and runs smooth as silk.
For ammo I have tried Hornady Black and Custom, and the Remington Accutips. The Blacks shoot the best out of those 3 varieties.
The scope is a Leupold VX3i 2.5-8x36 inside of a mount from Bobro Engineering.
I am wondering if any of you have ideas to tighten those groups up? I realize I am not the best shot out there, but I can shoot much better groups at 100 yards using my 12 gauge slug gun. I have well over $1,500 into this setup and it is rather disappointing to get groups that large at 100 yards.
Also, I don’t reload but I have been debating getting the equipment to load rounds myself if I can achieve better accuracy. I love the 450B, but one of its biggest downfalls is having few choices for factory loaded ammo.
Thanks
