I pulled this group from my DDM4v7 a little while back. The gun is practically stock except for a new charging handle and a larue trigger. Pretty respectable group from a 16" 1/7 twist barrel? I can't imagine what I can do with heavier projectile since these are 55gr handloads.

**This is a 100 yard group.

I'm not sure how to read that computer screen.
What did it say the "group size" was at its widest point?

FWIW, I've yet to test my AR with a good scope, a solid rest, and quality ammo.
Shooting Wolf or Tula ammo from a field rest across my range bag, using a cheap, dim,
3X scope at 100 yards, I get 2" groups most of the time. I've done better, but that could be good luck, just like the few bigger groups I got could've been bad luck.

One day I'll equip the rifle and my gear for a serious test, and I'll try to get 1 MOA with some quality brass-cased ammo and real copper-and-lead bullets.
