Well my Colt is used but I think very lightly used ,as it looks brand new! It does have a 1-7 twist barrel I guess I'm asking to much from the 55 gr bullets! But since I'm loading for this I have notice very large inconsistances with brass from four different makers,Fed, Amer Eagal, PMC ,LC ! The once shot AE was .010+"
strech from one firng? Some after sizing ran 1.185" that's .035" over trim to length! Now 50 yard groups were what I expected with open sights! Ran about 1"! So I figured should be about 1-1.5" at 100 yards! Boy was I shocked at 3-4" plus groups!
Especially from a target gun!
Once zero'd properly I never had such bad groups from any Military M16 I ever used! For and aftermarket Target gun I expect better!
Even with open sights! Hell I got a WWII G98/40 8mm thats had many years of use both war time and civilan that can shoot circles around this gun at any range! A straight unmodified WWII issued gun!
With any M16 I used in the military I never had a problem hitting a man sized target out to 300m easily once properly zero'd !
