      I dont know if it is more accurate, but to me it makes sense to lap the receiver. The first one i did i was amazed at the process and as the receiver polished up and squared off little by little i can see how in theory it trued up the barrel to receiver

            Allen,

            That sounds like good news.

            What Fiocchi ammunition are you referring to?

                Allen,

                I wasn't aware Fiocchi made Grendel ammunition so I was curious.

                My experience with Fiocchi factory .223 55Vmax is similar - terrible group sizes.

                  Fiocchi 223 didn't work well in my AR either. First time shooting it further than 100 yds was 260 yds with some Fiocchi ballistic tip. Groups were ~8". Thought it was me. Friend handed me some Black Hills which produced a 2.63" group. Every gun is different

                    They dont.

                    I'm kind of lost myself on what ammo he is talking about.

                        Klem, I have broken down my gun, lapped the receiver, and will report if I see any appreciable improvement. Also do you fellas stay in need of brass to reload?

                          If you don't reload there are usually people willing to buy brass at reasonable prices in the EE section of the forum.

                            No worries.

                            Thanks mate but I'm not short of brass. You could advertise in the buy/sell section.

                              On the subject of Fiocchi ammo.I have tried it in a few calibers. Walmart used to sell it in .308 and .223.And I want to bought 1000 rounds of the 155 grain Fiocchi from Sportsmans Guide a special deal. unfortunately I have to agree with everyone else. It was only good for the brass. Groups with Fiocchi ammo were god-awful

                                Fl shooter. Are you saving your brass to reload? Are you desperate for any?
