OK Got a new rear iron sight and sighted in using the RIBZ (Revised Improvised BattleSight Zero) method. Also got a chance to shoot 3 types of Ammo with 2 vendors - PMC and Privi Partizan (ALL 55 Grain Bullets). 99% of the shooting was from the bench with a rifle rest.
First Up PMC XTac M193 (5.56 NATO):
100 Yards:
During this set I felt she was shooting a little high and I was still in the zero process. I brought the front sight in down 1 click and I was happy with the results. I then moved on to the 50 yard to see how this grouped.
50 Yards:
Happy with the results. I actually forgot to bring down my rear sight 2 clicks on the first 4 shots as part of the RIBZ Process for 50 Yards so disregard the 4 higher shots
Next Up Privi Partizan M193 (5.56 NATO):
100 Yards:
Seems like much tighter groups. Got 2 low flyers. I'm taking responsibility for that. I was getting eye fatigue looking through the small appeture after the zero process.
50 Yards:
Yeah I was really happy about this group. 2 shots basically dead on center and most of the group was really tight.
Finally PMC .223:
100 Yards:
I had a feeling at the last range outting that the .223 ammo didnt group well at 100 yards. I now will confirm that out to 100 yards I'm getting a spread out group with .223 ammo. it might just be the PMC? But as of right now in my 1:8 twist rate in the 100 yard range I will expect .223 ammo to have a larger group spread.
50 Yards:
At 50 Yards this is great plinking ammo. However for the same price of the Privi Partizan it makes more sense to go with the 5.56 NATO stuff for bulk in the future so I can go to 100 yards with more confidence and tighter groups.
Well I put on a vertical grip and for most of the range I was shooting from bench to zero in and once I was confident that my zero was as tight as I'm going to get it for iron sights I went to town before the last cease fire for the day with the .223 PMC Ammo from a standing position and shooting fairly fast. Target was 50 yards away:
