I need help from more experienced shooters, I am having trouble getting .223 55 grain bullets to group well in my 1:7 twist 16 inch barrel.
I have tried H335 and Varget at various loads and seating but I can't seem to pull the group in under 7" to 8'' at 100 yards.
62 to 69 grain bullets do better but I am hoping to tighten their groups also.
The rifle is a IWI Tavor chambered for 5.56/.223. I am using an EOTech sight with a 3x multiplier and shooting with a bipod.
I am thinking that a scope may help some over the red dot. What do you think?
Is there a powder better suited for the 16" barrel that I should try? Anyone have a good load that works for them out of a short barrel?
Thanks in advance
