I see folks posting low SD's with 3 & 5 shot groups. How many rounds should be fired to get a accurate SD on your load?

Hi guys, this is my first post ever here in this forum.
I'm from Italy and AR15 are a topic with very few experts talking my language, so I sincerly wanna ask you.
I'm using a 12,5" .223 of an italian manufacturer with "his" Lothar Walther 1:8 and a 1-6 lpvo (PST 2 vortex) to play with steel plates at ~400m and sometimes even beyond.
This stuff is really fun and I enjoy learning all the things about ballistics, so I wanna go for a more performing setup without having it fully dedicated to this anyway.
I'm thinking to swap optic (going for a 2-10 pst2 vortex) and barrel:
Here in Italy we kinda have to marry ourself to a barrel 'cause it has to be registered regardless the lenght, so playing with customer service if something goes wrong can be a pain in the butt.
I wanna go with a 14,5 - 16" 1:8 match with a profile not too heavy, to gain a little more speed and I hope accuracy without losing too much portability;
I have access to
- 14,5 1:8 MRR (multi radial rifleing) sabatti blank and finished by an italian artisan (with sbn)
- 16 1:8 Wilson combat recon SS 1:8 fluted
- 14.5 faxon gunner match ss 1:8
- 16 BA Hanson Match ss 1:8
- Another Lothar Walther 1:8 sbn finished by the manufacturer of my current AR15.
- Buy an entire new ar15: Ruger MPR 1:8 16 spr profile.

I will use FIOCCHI 62 for 90% of the times, and 69smk loaded by me for the rest 10%.
Right now my AR15 print 2moa with 62fiocchi and 1.5moa with 69smk (note I'm using only a 6x lpvo at the moment), Always 10shot groups.
- I wish my future setup will be able to make 1moa or sub with 69smk and 1.5moa with 62fiocchi.

I have seen with my eyes MRRs printing 1 to 1.5moa with 62fiocchi, but it seems they dont like 69 and 77, producing 1.5moa also (1:8).
I have also seen a lot of MRR having quality control issues.

I know faxon and BA have also quality control by "volume of fire" and I dont know if I want to take the risk of a non-shooter and dealing with their customer service in another continent. But i've seen a YT video of a guy doing 1moa with a faxon match (18" spr and not 14.5 gunner as listed)

I've seen with my eyes rugers mpr printing 1.5~ with 55 and 62 fiocchi, but I dont know if it's the best choice.

What do you suggest? Wilson Combat? They seems to have good quality control and track record.
I could get WOA but we import them only with a very VERY heavy spr profile and 1:7 twist. So I really hope Wilson combat recon could be as good.
Thanks

I have packs of 500 all same lot. shipped 215 per 500

Selling a rare and discontinued Spuhr 4003B. This mount features the same specs as the popular 4002 (1.5" height, 34mm rings, 0moa cant) but has a wider spacing between the rings. It looks great on larger scopes, like an ATACR 7-35. The mount will come as shown.

SOLD

No trades please.

For basically only HD would you put any money into a 10.3/10.5 300 Blackout barrel? I want to run a 9.3 Geissele MK8 rail so really a 10.3 barrel would be the best option.

I see a BA Hanson is offered in 10.3 and the price is sub $200. But I feel so dirty paying more for a rail than the barrel. Would you guys spend a little more to get a better barrel? I never plan to shoot it at distance really and it will just be suppressed (now that Trump is back in office) for my wife's HD gun.

So mainly 110-125gr supers and some subs just for fun.

Vitamin D3, cheap and works well, according to this VA study:

I just had an old timer drop a gun off with me to help him get rid of it, its a 700 built by Iron Brigade Armory. He said he had it built and only shot about a box of ammo through it then let it sit in the safe, the thing is essentially new. Digging around on here and across the internet I'm having a hard time coming up with a real world value for this. I'm hoping someone on here knows more about Iron Brigade builds and their values than me.

Budget is $2000. Will practice on private property with 1100 yds being max distance. Not gonna compete. I have an incomplete list:
Zermatt origin
Barrel: bartlein, kreiger, pva?
Krg bravo
Muzzle?
Tt special

I want to buy or build an LMT quad but unfortunately, I’m in IL. Might as well get started with this. Thoughts?

A friend of mine suggested that I get a b-14 or a tikka and start from there. I’ve only shot an LPR three times at 600 yds and under. Groups weren’t horrible but you could tell that I’m new to the game.

I've been trying to find the best powder for heavies in a 6.5 creedmoor and 6 creedmoor. I've been experimenting with 6.5 staball and it's a huge disappointment..
Both rifles are getting huge ES and shitty groups, the stuff burns super dirty too.

Has anyone else had similar results with this powder?
I'm contemplating H4831sc for 147s in the 6.5, and 115s in the 6.
What are people having the best luck with?
RL16 has been great in my 6 creed but it's going for like $60+/lb if you can even find it..

I have two factory barrel assemblies up for sale. Each was cut down by D. Wilson.

TikTok users Charles Smith sprays poison all over food in Walmart

A so-called TikTok ‘prankster’ known for wreaking havoc on the public for social media views, was arrested for spraying poison all over food in a Mesa, Arizona, Walmart.

The suspect, 27-year-old Charles Smith, was stupid enough to video his face while committing the crime. He then uploaded the video of himself committing the felony to social media.

According to court documents, Smith went back inside Walmart 10 minutes after he committed the crime and “attempted to collect the items he sprayed.”

Smith wheeled some of the poisoned items to the back of Walmart.

Walmart was forced to remove nearly $1 million in damaged food/suspected damaged food after Charles Smith ran through the store and sprayed poison all over the place.

Mesa police arrested Charles Smith on Saturday and charged him with Introducing Poison (felony), Criminal Damage (misdemeanor), Endangerment (misdemeanor), Theft (misdemeanor).

12 News reported:

According to police, Smith entered the Walmart on Stapley Drive “intending to film pranks for social media” on Dec. 19 around 8:30 p.m., but instead took a can of the bug killer from a shelf without paying for it and sprayed its contents on vegetables, fruit and rotisserie chickens available for sale.
On Smith’s recent stories page, it shows two separate videos of him putting the items that he claims were sprayed with bug killer in a cart and then pushing that cart filled with items into what appears to be a truck. One of the captions claimed he threw away the items, even though the video does not show that.
In court documents, police said Smith returned 10 minutes later and “attempted to collect the items he had sprayed,” much like in his recent videos. However, police said Smith did not throw away said items but rather wheeled them to the back of the store, and it is unknown whether or not Smith was able to collect all of the items he sprayed.
The rest of the products that Walmart removed in total cost $931,000, court documents state.
“It should be noted that the time between when the defendant sprayed the items to when he placed them in the cart, left plenty of time for customers to take the contaminated items and purchase them,” court documents state.

SBR/pistol barrel length???

So I'm waiting for an SBR stamp and trying to decide what barrel length to go with...

11.5", 12.5", 13.9"

Is there really that much difference in performance... will the shorter end of this range be neutered in MV and make way more gas and noise or are they all fairly similar
It will be a 223 wylde chamber, most likely always have an OCL Polonium suppressor on it and most likely be shooting 60 soft points if they'll group as I have a case of those. It would be a do all set up with a 1-10× optic that I should always have in the vehicle with me for coyotes or self defense
