Pretty close. Yeah. Ok... here's ALL the details.

DPMS Southpaw AR-15 A2. 20" 1:9 superbull barrel cryo-accurized. Harris Bi-pod. Low mass hammer and a 4lbs JP Rifles "yellow" spring. $50 E-bay optics 6-18x44 scope.

Shot at Eagle Peak in Cedar Park, TX from a concrete firing point bench. It was right about Noon. About 95 degrees and aroun 60% humidity. No wind.

Load was factory Ultra-max 55gr SP loaded one at a time and 2-3 minutes between shots.

So yeah, just about ideal.

A year later, I tried shooting some of my own loads with not so good results. Tried some AMAX moly coated pushed by Accurate 2230 at Stan's. Good folks that work there, but the range is crap compared to Eagel Peak.

107 degrees and almost 90% humidity at 100 yrds again. Shooting East, the wind was dead out of the South at 20-25MPH gusting. Wooden bench firing point that was none too sturdy. Got yelled at for trying to shoot from under the bench. Created a "trip hazzard" being streched out in the dirt.

Still got some work to do on the load. Wasn't nearly as accurate as I was hoping it'd be with my handloads. Win some, lose some.

yeah, those ARs sometimes really impress me with how accurate they are. i have a rock river with a wilson 20" heavy barrel that often shoots better than my remington 700.
