xcr 223 accuracy

[grizzly416]

with handloading what are the abilities of this rifle in 223 or 6.8 spc as well

 

[Ar180shooter]

Realistically? 2 MOA.

Some may be slightly better, 1.5 MOA or so, but I've never seen any that shoot better than that.

1.5 MOA on my .223 with handloaded match bullets and a 4x optic. Don't think I'll get any better than that out of it.

Camp Cook was shooting 4" groups at 300 yards with his 6.8 SPC.

1.25" with hand loads and 4X scope. IIRC load was 23 gr H335 under a Hornady 55 gr fmj, WCC case CCI 400 primer. The fast stock is difficult to sandbag, the F93 I had fit my rear bag nicely and didn't have a half assed cheek weld. Then again that rifle rarely ever got shot off the bench, that's not what it was designed for.

The best I got was 1.25" at 109y with 69gr SMKs and varget. I think i was using 24.6gr or 24.8gr, but I can't remember which one. I'm a better shot now than I was when I did that 3 years ago. I wonder if I could repeat those result more easily now. But in all honesty, I think the gun is max 1 moa accurate. Most likley a 1.5-2moa with good match ammo. It's a sporting rifle not a precision rifle at the end of the day.
