RE: Factory .223 accuracy
1BUCK, I bought a new 223 a couple years ago. I was getting 4" groups at 100 yards with PMC ammo. I switched to the inexpensive Winchester ammo and got 3" groups. Then I shot Rem Core-Lokt's and got 1" groups. I can live with that.
I've heard good thing about Black Hills (?) and I'm going to try that next.
GOOD LUCK!
