I can't remember, have you put the riffle in a machine rest and shot it? That would tell you if it was you or the scope, or the rifle.

I usually have one flyer myself. Not just with my AR-10 though so I'm pretty sure it is me, I tend to rush things.
I've been surprised at how much difference handloads make. I can't get a decent group out of 175 SMK's in any factory match ammo. I had figured my rifle didn't like the bullet but almost every handload with the same bullet cut those groups in half or better. :huh: Wish I had more time to load, and shoot for that matter! :usa:

I finally acquired some FGMM in 168 gr and it shot worse than any of my loads, and no, I haven't shot from a machine rest. I guess that would solve the user error part of the problem.

Good luck, I would try to get it on a machine rest. If it is still shooting bad, think about getting a new barrel/chamber..
It could be something as simple as a defective scope. Do you have another scope or iron sights you can try?

I doubt it would be an issue. If you broke something shooting reloads then maybe but if you haven't eroded the throat with hot loads I don't see them balking on the warranty. Just don't mention it!

I can try a different scope. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks.

My first time out, my scope screwed up on me, then it was my rings, and finally got all that
fixed and now it's shooting good.

Haven't had decent weather lately. Hope to try some more loads soon.

Our weather hasn't been worth much either. Can't even go to the garage and reload unless I want to sit in -5 F cold.
