M855 ammo is not able to reliably produce less than 3 MOA groups. In fact, the AMU has to test a variety of lots to select the most accurate possible for their use. A rack issued service rifle is probably a 2 MOA weapon at best. We won't even get into the error of the optic or fact that the reticle subtends roughly 12" at 300 meters.

The odds of you "consistently" producing five shot groups under 1/3 MOA at 300 yards from the supported prone with an issue rifle and ammunition and a CCO are roughly the same as me consistently winning the next several consecutive Powerball drawings.

I agree, you should quit your day job and start preparing for Camp Perry.

This is not a good place to try and BS people.
