Nice call about the ar2208 guys. I gave it a try with ladder test from 23.5 to 25.5 grains. Best was 24.5gr at just a shade under 0.4 MOAat 100 yards. My usual shooting before that was with hornady TAP 60 gr Vmax ($135/200 factory ammo) and i couldnt get sub MOA with that and was usually closer to 2MOA, so i didnt think .4 was even possible with my firearm/caffeine intake/prison shank inspired front rest. I guss now ill just use the leftover TAP ammo to season the barrel after cleaning, tee up a hunt, and then fire up the charcoal grill.
