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.

I just ordered 1000 rounds of M855. It's from American Tactical. It should be in this week, I'll chrono it and see how it fairs in groups w/ my 16" DDM4. I'm zeroed at 50 with my eotech, but I've shot it out to 500 yards w/ a 3x magnifier using 75g TAP.
