While the ladies were out shopping on Black Friday, I took my son and my M25 out for a range session. After letting my son shoot the 10/22 at the silhouette range, we headed out to the 200yd range to do some accuracy testing with the M25/5R/JAE-100G3. I did my best shooting to date with 3 different loads.

For the 52 shots and the 11 groups I fired, I averaged 0.915 MOA! (overall average posted on the pasteboard has a minor mathematical error)

My hand loads averaged 1.56 MOA. M118 LR averaged 0.845 MOA. 175gr FGMM averaged 0.804 MOA.





I'm not sure I can improve over this, or if there's any need to try at all. That day, I shot off a sand bag and ditched the bipod. I also had two double-fires that were attributed to not holding the rifle tight in my shoulder. My trigger is adjusted down below 4 pounds. I have a Shooting Sight adjustable match-grade EBR trigger.

All shots were fired from the magazine with the gas on.

This rifle shot as soft as an AR! I think I can wrap up my accuracy testing of the JAE chassis, film a review, and move on to something else.

Here's a better view of the rifle from a few months ago...

Need more pics and details of that rifle, it seems pretty sweet.

My guess would be that you can do better if your handloads are the worst of the ammo used that day.

What is your recipe for your handloads?
 
That rifle really likes FGMM. Nice shooting and sweet rig. So what are you going to tinker with next?
 
The specs of the rifle has been documented somewhere on this forum. I'll try and find the thread.

Even if I omit my handloads, we're talking a solid 0.85 MOA rifle, or 0.065 MOA difference than if I include my hand loads, which is splitting hairs, pretty much.

My load is LC cases, 42.8 grains of RL-15, CCI BR-2 primer and 175gr SMK. These clock around 2600 FPS.
