Good rainy day to go back to the range. All shots at 50 yards off a bench, testing without a muzzle device. All with 10s between shots and 3min between groups. Overall still seeing average 2-3"groups at 50 yards. Booooo.

1st is two 5 shot groups with 75gr aac hpbt ammo. Adjusted scope 8 clicks down between groups.

2nd is a 10shot group with hornady 68gr hpbt

3rd is a 10shot group with pmc xtac 62gr LAP

4th is 62gr fed fusion

5th is 55gr fmj

6th is a different shooter with the 75gr aac hpbt


guess ill tear the upper apart and rebuild with the barrel tightened at 80ft-lbs vs 60 where it is now.

Damn!
Hell I don't think I've ever even torqued a barrel. I usually crank it down hand right, then whack the wrench handle a couple of times with a rubber mallet.
I've never had one shoot that badly. I think you've got something else going on.
Shit, I've put 223s thru a .300blk & got better groups than that (yep, I've done it the other way too & STILL shot within 2" of my 100yd .223 group! Couldn't do it twice, mind you....)
