Guy next to me at the range was having a difficult time getting decent groups using some sort of fancy Hornady ammo, 168gr I think. His patterns were roughly 5" across.

Once that was exhausted he went in and bought some surplus HXP Greek FMJ that should have been all over the map...but lo and behold it gave him almost 1moa.

We were both baffled. What happened? I have no idea what sort of rifle this was, it was black and synthetic is all I know. Looked fairly new.
