how'd I do with an aimpoint? comparison of two loads from my PSA 16" AR

[mag360]

Well, this was my group today (aimpoint PRO mounted on a PSA hammer forged 16" AR)
For better or worse, I shot two 10 round groups at a target prone without a sandbag at 100 yards at sac valley today. I was shooting once every 2-3 seconds for each group. The shoot n c targets are the same size, the center bullseye is the standard 5 1/2" 25 yard pistol bullseye target. You can definitely tell the difference in the quality of the ammo. What do other peoples groups with unmagnified aimpoints/red dots look like at 100 yards?

The upper right group was with federal xm855 5.56 "green tip"

The lower left group was with silver state armory 77gr MK262 5.56.

I always have a hard time getting good groups with just the red dot once it goes past 50 yards so it shows that these are not exceptional groups.

I was trying to put the center of the dot directly on top of the middle of the bullseye.

Sorry for the late follow up. I just recently joined here but seeing as nobody replied yet I figured I could add something.

Your grouping looks pretty decent. I agree that 100yd with just the Aimpoint gets tricky for shooting groups.

I shot the below target at 100yd with a KAC SR-15 16". Ammo was a mix of PMC X-Tac 62gr, Black Hills 62gr TSX, and Remington Hog Hammer 62gr TSX (all 3 have nearly the same POI from my gun). You can see the pasters on the target covering some earlier holes and my one flyer.

Other things to note just since we are comparing, my rifle came with the KAC match trigger. If you want to upgrade anything on the gun, a trigger might show the biggest benefit towards accuracy. The KAC trigger isn't amazing compared to some others but, it is a 2-stage and about a pound lighter than the GI type trigger. I would recommend a Geissele trigger if I was buying aftermarket. I shot on a perfectly sunny and calm day from a stable bench position. Not fully sandbagged but plenty of support.

You need more trigger time. I am not trying to be rude, but that isn't that great. Especially for having an optic mounted (even just a 1X).

I will be back on the range hopefully next wednesday with my geisselle SSA-E and the same exact rifle, will post another update with a 5 round group of that silver state 77gr mk262.
