Is it just me or is M855 pretty inaccurate???

Just seems that way compared to everything else I shoot.

Here's a little comparison I did with IMI M855.  20 shots on each target, the X-ring is slighty less than 3" in diameter.

Not saying m855 is match accurate, but thats not really fair, a FF rifle with precision ammunition and a skinny A2 barrel with m855? I'd like to see them both from one rifle or the other...

Good enough to put Haji down as soon as I see him.  That's what it's for.

As others have said, it isn't ment to be match grade ammo.  Minute of bad guy nothing more.  Also note that some barrels handle different ammo better..........

Who cares about accuracy?  The green paint gives it the magical powers!

That's a totally useless comparison.  The M16A2 barrel is a 1/12 twist.  M855 doesn't work well in a 1/12 twist barrel.

Haven't you ever read the ammo oracle?

The M16A2 has a 1/7 twist barrel, genius.
