    @Roarless20 time to eat crow? (For me I mean) Quite possibly will update furrher but here's a preview of a 20 round group shot tonight. Some excluded shots from letting a girl shoot a mag full from the 223 as it was her first time shooting and her partner only brought a 22. She did unfortunately shoot at my target twice before i realised (lucky i had dialed the rifle back to zero). Anyway I have 50 more of this load to take hunting. About 1.3moa for 20 not significantly better than the 15 shot group but the rifle has been completely stripped back and a bit of a quick fix involving some bits of broken hacksaw blade has been implemented. May like different ammo now who knows but the groups distribution is much cleaner.
