Ok folks,
I posted a few weeks back about what I thought was a problem with my scope and zeroing my rifle.
I am running a Sig MCX with a 16" barrel and a Sig Tango 6 scope on top. After taking it to the 100yd outdoor range to zero it, it just wasnt happening, rounds were landing on either side of the target. I initially thought it was the scope or scope mount so I got a new one piece (to replace the two Piece) scope mount for the rifle. Back to the indoor 25yd range to try to get it to hold zero. No luck shooting 6" groups at 25yds with American Eagle 5.56 factor 55gr FMJ ammo, Range officer cant believe it either and tells me its your ammo try your reloads. Switch to shooting my reloads and it shoots great. After a long thread on here I thought I would get a few different kinds of factory ammo, I test a few different low end factory rounds and some high end match grade rounds as well as my own ammo, See the video below for the results. Anyone have any idea why the American Eagle ammo is so bad??????
TAKE A LOOK AT THE VIDEO!
Thanks,
Dom
