I could also set my sights in on 100-200 yards. It sounds like a farmer or rancher with 1,000's of pesky critters in the field needs to take up handloading out of economic necessity. If I ever get a Colt AR-15 with a govt. profile barrel, at $1,100+ retail, I want to make the damn most out of every dollar spent for that sucker right out of the box. Using expensive match ammo to blast pesky little rodents seems ridiculous.
Mr. GunBlue debunks the lie that a light-profile barrel is necessarily inaccurate.
I think you're messing with me now.
Set your sights at 200yds. Factory group of say 6-7". Ground squirrel dimensions of 1.5" - 2" wide, 5"-6" tall. See the problem?
Landowners get others to shoot their squeaks. People even pay them for the opportunity. Therefore, landowners don't NEED to handload and most don't have the time.
Match ammo may not buy the typical AR15 owner much in the way of accuracy. Unlike handloading that can be custom tuned to what a particular gun likes. If going with match ammo, one would have to buy a lot of diff brands and loads and test them to see what the gun likes.
So, you are talking about AR15 and you post a vid about .257 Woberts out of a bolt action rifle. This makes sense to you???
