Rem 700 SPS Varmint in .223 Grouping

[Rem700SPS]

My first grouping, factory loads.

UMC typically doesn't shoot worth a crap. What were the other 2 shots you didn't add into your calculations?

Maybe he was still zeroing or maybe he decided right then and there he didn't want to measure a 5-shot group like he should and go to a 3-shot group?

OP, please elaborate.

Cold bore flyers ?

At 100? I'd hope not.

I have the same rifle and with handloads these rifles will easily one-hole 5 shot groups at 100 yards under 1/2".

Dont tell me you bought a $800 Rifle and then go shoot shit ammo in it and expect to get an informed opinion here?

Match ammo required for further analysis

First 2 shots were after it bore sighted it, got me on the paper. Last 3 were what I grouped. When grouping I always shoot 3 shots, most experts do too. I don't claim to be and expert or sharp shooter, I just posted this to show what this gun is capable of doing with factory loads. I've heard people say this gun is shit cause it's not free floating. If it does this good with factory loads and for someone who isn't a Marksman, just think how good it could be with matched ammo (handloads). And the reason for buying the "shit ammo" was for the casings. I hope I answered all of your concerns.
