I haven’t tried any hand loads yet but Federal Premium 55 ballistic tips are giving me 1-1/4” groups. Also have had 1-1/4” groups with Hornady steel match. I bought a couple thousand rounds of American Eagle 55gr Fmj and they are only good for plinkingas I can’t get any better than 3-4” groups.
This pencil barrel really starts to heat up after 3 rounds and the groups open up. If you still have the stock trigger in yours it’s tough to shoot decent groups with that pos. The stock trigger on mine made the trigger on my sons SKS feel like a 12 ounce Jewel. I put a two stage Geissele SSAE trigger in mine and it’s great.
