You will see better results. The further out you shoot, the more amplified barrel inconstancy shows up. 2 MOA @ 100 is 8 MOA @ 400. And if you are referencing some of the Youtube video featuring CMMG rifles, I have heard that they are kinda of in the middle of the road as far as accuracy goes. But their are not many folks making and selling complete rifles right now.
At this point in the game you are better off building a rifle, unless you can get your hands on a Barrett rifle with a Proof barrel, but that rifle will probably set you back about $3500.00. Santan Tactical is another high end rifle, but they are a little spendy as well.
the barrel in my rifle is from cmmg and I put it together.
most of the YouTube videos featuring cmmg rifles are loaner weapons that were put out in conjunction with Hornady’s 6 arc release, they have been disassembled and reassembled by every you tuber that has handled them and then some.
the problem within lies in the fact that everybody believes or is under the impression that the rifles are first run weapons and with less than acceptable performance due to the shade tree tinkering, cmmg and more importantly the cartridge itself gets a black eye.
My barrel is a slim profile and it shoots very well (with the limited range time I have had with factory ammunition), however I would not recommend cmmg to anyone based on the way they treated me as a customer, regardless how I feel about the company the barrel does shoot.
My point in all this rambling is that I was glad to see your results were along the same line as my limited results, as much as I love both my 6.5 Grendels, it is my belief that this cartridge Fills a hole in the AR platform and I hate to see it lose it’s luster before it gets to shine! My apologies in advance for the rambling.
