Build list is as follows:
- Anderson lower and Anderson lightweight upper
- Toolcraft 6.5 grendel BCG and milspec charging handle
- Rise Armament RA-140 trigger
- Ergo grip
- KAK A2 stock kit
- Faxon 18" Match gunner barrel
- Wojtek adjustable gas block and tube
- VG65 gamma
- Radical firearms 15" handguard I caught on sale for $50
Scope is just a bushnell 3-12 for 223 I threw on there for the time being. Shot two boxes of Hornady black 123gr SST and they shot around 3 MOA so im hoping it comes in with some handloads.

I couldn't get sst to shoot in my rifle at all. Eldm and American gunner shot great. Great looking build.

Well thats reassuring. I was extremely worried because from what i'd read before I finished the build, hornady black was the gold standard for box ammo.

Drop a lowmass righttobeararms bcg in that and a a2 stock weight and that bad boy won't move at all when firing groups from the bench.

OP what ammo where you shooting? Hornady black is loaded with the 123 eld-m
The sst ammo doesn't come in the black ammo line up.

Correction, 123 ELD-Match. Did not shoot them well at all, seemed like it would stack a couple on top of each other and then throw a couple. I have a box of 123 ELD-Match so im hoping to find a load to shoot them since my creedmoor does not like them at all.

I own a couple of the RA-140 black fallout triggers in my 300 blackouts.They are great triggers for $99ea.Mine Both break crisply @ around 3 1/2 lbs.Just Make sure you use anti walk pins.

3 moa with black eld-m,...seems excessive,...your part list seems better then average,...I would double check everything is tight and aligned, clean the barrel and give it some time before I gave up. What is the round count on it?

Had 40 through it. Loaded up some 95 grain vmax with CFE223 and some with H335 and both shot around 1.5moa. Gonna try some with Tac this weekend and see what happens. If they don?t get better, I?ll just use them as fouling Bullets. I also loaded up with 120 ELD with CFE223 as well as some 120 nosler ballistic tips with CFE223. Excited to see those groups. My next powder will be 8208.
