I fired my 300 BLK 10.5" AR/Stoner barrel upper for the first time today. Match grade supersonics seemed to deliver about 1.25 moa or a hair bigger at 100 yd and subsonics about 1.5 moa or less at 50. 100yd zero on the supersonics puts the subsonics 6" low at 50. Should I go for 200 yd zero for supers? With the 50/200 EOTech dot zeroed at 100, I could hit the 300yd gong using the 500yd dot.
Honestly I was hoping for better. I have been thinking about a 6.5 Grendel 16" medium taper for 300-600yd hunting but want sub-MOA.
I'm going to re-seat/shim my barrel nut or swap nuts (it came in at 30 but not 35 and I needed to take it to about 90 to the next notch. I'll also return with a finer reticle (was using a 1 MOA hologram), but so far I am on the fence about getting another AR/Stoner barrel.
