OK might be a long one but this has me completely baffled. I purchased a Sig MCX about 1 year ago full size rifle in .223/.556 with a 16 inch barrel. I had initially mounted a 4x Trijicon ACOG on this rife and could not get it to hold zero. Rounds were all over the place. I have no shot this rifle much as it then had to go back to Sig for a recall on the bolt carrier group. Finally get the rifle back from Sig and mounted a burris 4x optic on it, shot it with factory ammo worked great. Fast forward to yesterday I now have a Sig Tango 6 optic on it. Shooting some factory American Eagle Ammo at 25 yards I am having 6 inch groups. I have the optic sitting in a burris Pepper mount torqued exactly to the manufacture specs. Asked a range officer what the hell is going on with my rife? He tells me its the crap ammo your shooting. I tell him only other ammo I have is some test reloads I built, he tells me to try it.
I have 10 rounds each of .223 using a hornady FMJ 55 grain projectile with 24.5, 25.0 and 25.5 grains of Varget. They shoot flawlessly and I am getting 5 rounds in a 1" box at 25 yds with all 3 sets of reloads.
How can I get 6 inch groups with Factory American Eagle 55gr FMJ and then switch to my hand loads and automatically go down to sub 1" groups?????
Does any of this make any sense???????
Help!
Thanks,
Dom
