List your sub-MOA factory fodder

I like small caliber rifles but have always had to tinker with them or handload to get true sub MOA. Almost unbelieveable to me the only rifle ammo combo that I ever had that delivered sub MOA was a box stock Ruger 77 in 300 win mag and red box 180 gr Federal ammo.

I bought the rifle when I lived in Alaska and picked up 4 boxes of the cheapest ammo the store had for initial sight in and for brass. Right out of the box I shot a 3 shot 3/4" 100 yard group. The groups opened up to about 1 " when measuring 5 shots.

I marred up the stock on that gun hunting on a costal Island and sold it....I still kick myself in the ass for that.

Dr. Tad - I don't have the time or inclination anymore to reload, and I shoot ONLY factory ammo these days. Virtually ALL of my rifles shoot sub-moa with factory ammo -- because I won't own a rifle that won't -- and because I took the time to do extensive testing to find a load that each rifle likes. Some examples in terms of calibers, loads and best 3-shot groups: 22-250, Fed V-Shock 55-grain Ballistic Tip, 0.28 in.; 257 Wby Mag, Wby 120 grain Nosler Partition, 0.73 in.; 270 Win, Win Power Point 130 grain, 0.69 in.; 308 Win, Fed Fusion 165-grain, 0.68 in.; 300 WSM, Winchester XP3 150 grain, 0.75 in.; 338 Fed, Fed TSX 185 grain, 0.46 in. These are just a few examples. I don't believe there's any shortage of sub-moa rifles or factory ammo. You just have to put in the effort and time to find the optimum load for each rifle. I'm fortunate in that I have certain relationships with most of the ammo makers, otherwise this could get expensive. With my newest .308 (Kimber Montana), for example, I had to test eight factory loads before I found one that would shoot sub-moa consistently. Some brands/weights would barely group within 3 inches. Other rifles, like my 22-250, are inherently accurate. I've only tested three factory loads in that particular gun because ALL THREE shoot sub-moa consistently.

Remington 700 ADL synthetic in .308 with a Millet TRS-1 for optics and Remington Premier 168gr BTHP Match rounds. I average around 0.66MOA but there was one time I got it to shoot as good as 0.4.

some of the black hills stuff shoots under an inch out of my ars.

 

[R.W.Dale]

a fluke group or two under an inch sure

real sub MOA averages for multiple groups NO

My Savege 10 in .223 will shoot 5 shot groups that I can cover with a quarter. I've done it with a few different ammo types that were out of the box @ Wal Mart.

The Savage even out shot my CZ 527 varmint in .223 which has a superior trigger compared to the Savage. I suspect the CZ doesn't like the bulk ammo and it has a faster twist rate than the savage as well so it might like the lighter loads in it.
