Spring for a box of Black Hills match ammo- it will give you a pretty good idea of your rifle's accuracypotential, you might be pleasantly suprised.

I wouldn't judge the quality or accuracy of any rifle by shooting milsurp or worse yet, Wolf ammo.

RE: AR-15 Accuracy
 
I do have a 20 inch barrel BushMaster, and the barrel is chrome lined. I only shoot Federal American Eagle in the rifle. I do not feel qualified to speak of the types of ammo you guys are speaking of. My Federal ammo shoots 2 to 3 inch groups at 100 yards off the bench. Not impressive, but not bad for general shooting. Since I bought my RR I have put the Bushy away in the vault. I have not shot any of the Federal in the RR yet. I have been spending all my time in the ground hog fields with RR, and it is a blast to hunt with.

I got a real deal on a bunch of Federal American Eagle a few years back. So I really stocked up. Right now I am stocking up on Black Hills ammo-I am looking for another up tick in ammo prices.

I worked in the fireams industry in the 80's and 90's. There was alot of surplus ammo showing up back then. It was suppose to be this or that---but it normally ended up being something different(bad stuff). I got a bad taste in my mouth for the surplus ammo. We ruined two Garands with some surplus Turkish ammo.

The only surplus I trust is White Box Lake City .308. I am sure there is other god stuff out there, but I am not qualified to talk about it. Tom.

I get the same results shooting my 20" Bushy with the same ammo.

LOL. I don't think the Turks subscribed to SAAMI specs. I'd be really afraid of shooting turkish 30-06 after shooting turkish 8mm mauser which typically pushes a 154gr bullet to 3000fps. I've seen pictures of Hakim rifles destoyed by Turkish ammo.

I always thought the M193 Lake City 5.56 was supposed to be top notch stuff. Guess not. Thanks Briman, wondering when you might chime in.

in my dpms m193 i am shooting 1" to 1.25" at 100 yards but your gun might not like it other ammo like wolf does not shoot very well in mineso you might have to try some till you find one your gun likes

I don't have a Bushy but I do have a 16" Rock River with a chrome lined barel. I also have an EOTech on mine, and I cannot get the accuracy some people claim to get when shooting that sight. I have mounted a scope on my Rock River and it shoots all the cheap ammo very well. I've never really tried too hard to shoot groups with the EOTech, but when I sighted it in I could put them all in a softball sized group.

I'm just going to take a wild guess its the sight making you think its innacurrate.

PS - I've never heard anything bad about Bushmaster, and I've never even heard of KNIGHT (THE GOD OF ARS) ;)
