Believe it or not folks i have seen a guy shoot 1 1/2 to 2 inch groups at 100yds with a mini 14. I talked to a guy that was shooting tacks on a paper plate at 100yds and i know he said he wasn't shooting 55gr bullets. I thought he said he was shooting 62gr bullets.
I personally can keep my 55gr soft point reloads in a 3 inch group if i take my time shooting but when i shot the 60gr hollow points and 62gr steel core bullets they shot about 15 inches higher at 100yds than my 55gr bullets. Is it normal to have such drastic bullet trajectories being only 5-7 grains heavier? Maybe some of you AR-15 Guys could help with that question?
Also does anyone out there reload anything heavier than 55gr bullets? If so what kind?
And whats your experience with them?
Thanks
