Have you tried the Black Hills mk262 77gr match stuff yet? That's what I was using in my rifle when I printed the .8moa group. PWS uses nice barrels
Tier One Armoury in Edmonton stocks Black Hills and I'm sure they would ship you a box or two if you email them and ask.
Just to add a little perspective (or for those who arrived late), remember this?

The fact that he can do it, doesn't mean anyone can.
People have to remember that guys will post a target but it might be the best out of an entire day. One group might make an inch where the other 10 groups had a 3" spread. Accuracy claims on the internet are an oxymoron.
Don't you just hate that?
By the way....this is mine. XCR-L, 400m, surplus Norc ammo...
lol...I m yet to see an xcr that doesn't shoot groups like those..mine were the exception and shot 3.5 - 4" on average. No need to buy a precision bolt gun when have Robinson Arms.
Cheers!!
I not impressed with norc ammo in my XCR for accuracy,..although it functioned great. I went with some factory Hornady Superformance 53gr factory ammo. Expensive...but consistant and the groups tightened up considerably. I will do a test the next time I am at the range. On gas setting S, heavy barrelled early generation with better trigger grouped installed and polished. sandbagged on the bench...I have no problem with 1.5" groups... LIke my cheapo Savage Axis with 3x9 and light trigger work...benched, and the gun of course like the expensive factory ammo (53gr hornady)

That looks just like the groups I get with my Mini-14!!!
why spend the money on an XCR if absolute accuracy is your goal?, there are other out of the box semi autos that are more accurate in the same price range that do not suffer from the xcr barrel retention shortfalls.
If it was me looking for accuracy I would sell the xcr and buy something that better suited my needs (in this case, more accurate)
xcr with hornady 233 53gr . 100y. benched. at 10 power with vortex scope. the 55gr was shot before above hits...shot high and right. adjusted and then shot 4rds. 2 are touching...and the other at 12. missed the 3rd round or pulled it high.
