Landyrattle Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 As a newbie I would appreciate some help in setting my expectations - if I have an AR in .223 Wylde built by one of the respected 'smiths whose work regularly appears on this forum, what sort of precision could I reasonable expect from it, both with factory ammunition and developed handloads (MOA)? I'm hoping to be shooting at ranges up to 600m. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 You're obviously limited a little by magazine length but I've seen ARs built by both Bradders and Baldie comfortably hold .5 MOA with 77gn SMK/TMK and hold MOA or better with milsurp. What barrel length is it as that will affect you accuracy at distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazzer Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Mine regularly does .5 moa with 77gn smk and 24.1gn of reloaded 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landyrattle Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Many thanks for the feedback, like many others I guess my budget will only run to one rifle and I had been assuming that for precision it would need to be a bolt action, clearly I was wrong!
