Hello all I am new to the forum here with my first post. I just recently bought a ruger american in 223. I have not been able to find much on the american in 223 as far as range results go. I am not happy with the accuracy of the rifle as of yet. I have not fired any factory loads, but I have tried 8 different combinations/recipes using cfe223/55gr hornady vmax bullets/ fed SRP / Rem 7-1/2 and a few with 69 gr match burners. I am working out of my new hornady manual. I had great success with my mossberg MMR hunter using the 55vmx and cfe223. I don't know if I need to use a different powder or if my ruger just doesn't like vmax bullets? The match burners do ok but get really random fliers that are not seen with the vmax. Any help/suggestions would be great!
