[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1236799, member: 83267"] I would think Varget with its slow burn rate is not going to be a great powder for 55gr bullets in a 16" barrel. Try some CFE223 I've had very good luck with it out of AR's with 55gr pills. I have a great deal of difficulty getting below an SD of about 15 consistently out of a gas gun. I may shoot an SD under ten for three shots then I take the fourth shot and things go all sideways. AR's are much more difficult to get into the single digit SD's in my experience. I was shooting Sunday at 600 yards I had the first two shots touching then the third went about 2" high forth touching the first two then number five 2" low giving me three out of five touching at 600 yards but a 4" group it drives me ()$&@:;; crazy sometimes. I shot two five shot groups very similar to that before the rain drove me off the range. [/QUOTE]
