PMC Bronze Accuracy?

[Phil3]

I just fired my AR15 for the first time using PMC Bronze 55 grain FMJ. I know this ammo is nothing special, but what do you think would be the best 5 shot group one could reasonably expect from this stuff, out of an AR15 at 100 yards (assuming quality barrel and trigger)?

2" or less and it's the best deal out there I think for reloadable range ammo.

That's what I averaged with my upper and PMC 55gr was the 2". I found better luck with 62gr ammo.

I asked about the PMC Bronze accuracy, because it was what I used in testing my first ever AR15 (I built), and wanted to know what accuracy the PMC is capable of. At 100 yards, most 5 shot groups were about .75" with the one I tried hardest on, coming in at .625". Hopefully the gun will do better with handloads, my next step. But, it seems the gun is doing OK.

I have gotten 1" at 100 yards with 18" JP. Saw another shooter hit 10" plate
at over 325 yards easy using a JP. Best ammo for the $ out there.

PMC is just good training/drilling ammo. youll hit watever u aim at in a square food radius at about 100 yards easily standing up with no support.

What's the twist rate on your barrel?
