Hi:
I'm trying to develop my bench skills and unfortunately, cannot afford to purchase expensive match ammo at this time. Reloading is not an option at this time either.
If I use standard .223 55gr FMJ (PMC or Remington) in a Remington 700 w/1-9 twist (20" heavy barrel), what accuracy should I expect? 1-2" spreads; 2-3" or 3-4" spreads.
I figure, once I am consistently hitting at the limit of the ammo, I can buy better "match"-- BH or Federal and fine tune from there to the "three-shot groups touching".
Thanks,
HK&1911
