Ruag/Gw Pat 90 vs reloading

[nickorette]

According to this, the ruag 223/Gw Pat 90 is capable of 3/4 MOA.

Has anybody tried reloading for the swiss arms? I'd figure you'd be able to do better than ruag if you use good handloads. Of course, you'll probably have trouble finding the brass to reload, and if you do, chances are there won't be much left of the brass

Only?,, that sounds like match ammo to me.

Maybe your right. But it could explain why people find it difficult to get below that with their swiss arms.

I'm more interested to see if handloads capable of 1/2-1/4 moa would have any effect on the accuracy of a PE-90

Service ammunition that is ONLY capable of 10 shot, 3/4 minute of angle groups at 300m? I am impressed even if you aren't.
What do you suppose the standard of accuacy is of the rifle?

What sort of 10 shot groups are you obtaining at 300m?

Ok, I changed the title and stuff to better reflect my inquires
