Been trying to find a decent load for my Armalite AR-10 in 7.62/308. Tried both Hornady 150g FMJ and 168g A-max bullets and average groupings for both were over four inches at 100 yards some pushing the six inch group. Im not expecting the rifle to be a tac driver out of the box but it should be able to make close to MOA with re-loads. I Was thinking that I was pulling a little, and it was maybe me being a bad shot I tried some South African ball and go a 1.5-2 inch group which from what I have read is standard. So, I am comfortable that it is not me or the rifle.
Was a light wind, but not enough to through off a .308 at 100 yards as much as I was getting. And like mentioned while I was pulling slightly it was not enough to open up the groups that much, as I found out with the SA ball.
Loads were using Military brass, the 168 loads were in front of IMR 4895, starting at 36.5g and topping out at 41g at .5 grain intervals. CCI primers. Cant remember the 150 loads but they were in front of IMR 4064 and were between 38 and 42 grains if I remember with once again half grain increases.
Any Advice?
