Are you shooting from a bench? If so, that could be the problem. I had a .300WSM that was a beast from the bench, but off-hand it was really quite manageable. I think the problem is this: When you are shooting from a bench, you end up hunched down with most of your body straight behind the...

Sorry I didn't get out to shoot this one. I looked at the new match, and I really like the target! I'll be sure to get out there for the new one.

"Green tip", actually M855, is not armor piercing by design nor by legal definition. They were designed to penetrate both sides of a Soviet steel helmet at 600yds. M995 is armor piercing ammunition. It is identified by a black tip, and has a tungsten carbide penetrator. Neither of these are...

You won't get close to the value of the sum of the parts with a home-built rifle. If I was at a gun show and found a guy selling AR rifles made at home with a hodge-podge of parts, I wouldn't even look at them. Unknown quality and unknown builder means low price. Consider you can get a PSA for...

Wolf is fine. That's about as much as there is to elaborate on.

I've shot 75gr .223 Hornady TAP OTM out of a RRA LAR-15 1:9 twist barrel out to 200yds. Worked perfectly.

Why shoot expensive M855 when M193 is cheaper, and Wolf is a LOT cheaper?

Where are you getting .223 or 5.56mm at 10 cents per round? I'll buy all they have.

SimplyChad; Based on your observations I see an entirely different conclusion: our infantry is so effective the enemy can't get close enough to it to shoot at it effectively. The enemy stays so far away their small arms fire is totally ineffective, but our supporting fires are effective. I...

M855 is the standard US Department of Defense round for 5.56mm rifles, carbines, and machine guns. XM855 is nearly the nearly-identical round available on the civilian side. Before you go buy ammo, read the ammo oracle: ammo.ar15.com

I do totally agree with you on that one. Many ranges will not allow ammunition with a bullet containing steel.

This garbage is completely wrong. M855 is still the standard 5.56mm round for rifles and machine guns in the US DOD, and nothing about it is unstable over 100yds.

It is reliable ammunition. It is essentially the same as the ammo shipped to the department of defense, but the "X" in XM855 indicates a commercial production run that isn't subject to the same quality controls as the DOD contract ammo. I believe the DOD contract stipulates a maximum 2 MOA...

What exactly do you want to know? It's pretty standard ammo. M193 is generally a bit cheaper.

Nice. Maybe I'll use my AK this time around instead of the AR. No, wait, I'll use both and shoot a target with each!

You're saying exactly what those of us that have done know, and those on the internet that have not done will never believe.

I don't think they offer one like that, but they stock the "bullet button" used to make a CA-compliant rifle. You should E-mail them.

That's a parts gun. Read the description: I'd say pass. The only thing PSA here is the upper and lower. You get a lower parts kit from an unknown source, no magazine, an RRA bolt carrier group (not made of carpenter 158 steel, shot peened, and HPT/MPI), a 1/9 twist barrel (doesn't say if it is...

Right. I think the issue is the many small targets on one page blend together. If the target is one large object, I think it would be do-able at 50yds, since the point of aim would generally be the very center of the one object that is visible at 50yds.
