Factory ammo is lucky to hit a foot square target at 100 yards. my loads for my AR15 Grendel are better but nothing to rave about. So far I found AR Comp to be the tightest shooting, but still not great. I put the barreled action in an Oryx stock and put on a muzzle brake and still no improvement. I'm about to give up unless someone has an idea.

Do you have a bore scope? How old is the rifle, is it still under warranty?

Barrels are always a crap shoot. Every so often one gets a turd! I know I have. I just sent one back last week. BNIB never been fired by me Christensen Arms 6mm Creedmoor. I was well aware they had had QC issues in the past, growing pains, too popular, too fast and trying to pump out too many units. I had hoped they had turned the corner and solved the problems, nope! The free bore/lead ream job was wildly off center! Two lands were basically untouched and went all the way to the edge of the chamber, with zero freebore/lead. Berger factory ammo was .035 jammed! The rest of the gun looked great, fit and finish was excellent. Carbon stock, Trigger Tech trigger, 5.5 lbs, on sale……..stuff happens.
