This was shot by me using Spleify's sub $400 (after selling the OEM stock) Savage Axis .223 build, and factory loaded Fiocci 50grs VMax cartridges. This ammo is really spectacular for the price, $0.42-$0.48 per round, and shoots this good, hard to complain. And it devastates coyotes and p-dogs. It is also crazy accurate in my match grade AR-15 if you are looking for a high quality inexpensive round.

This was a 10-shot group with very low wind, 0-5mph, at 100yds. Shot off a bench with Bi-pod and rear squeeze bag. 10 shots, 0.553" group. Had to share, never put a 10 shot group this tight up before (done it with 3 and 5 shot groups, but never 10). I usually end up having a flyer or two, which I did here, just good flyers. I think this gun can go under 1/2 MOA if I can keep those couple flyers in the group. Really, its only got 1/16th inch to go and it will be under 1/2 MOA. The top right flyer was cold bore first shot of the day with this gun. I think next time I'll send one into the dirt to warm up the barrel and get the group tighter.
