That is a solid group for .223 at 100yds, basically 1 MOA. Now that you know the gun and ammo are pretty accurate, I say try improving your accuracy skills by not using the cooler to support the gun. Have you practiced accuracy in standing, seated, and prone positions? I find this the most fun part of shooting; using a bipod or some rest gets boring quick.

BTW, have you been shooting .223 or 5.56? Can't remember what ammo you picked up.

Edit: I can't wait to try out my new .308 that has been sitting in the case since January. Visiting my parent's house for my dad's birthday the weekend of March 23rd, he just bought a Savage bolt FCP-SR .308 too so it will be a good contest. I'm sure I'll lose lol.

Let us know how the shooting goes on the new .308, that is my next gun I think, a 308 bolt of some kind.

I have both .223 and 5.56, i even tried mixing them in the same clip, didn't seem to matter.

I did some sitting shooting, but I did a lot more standing/walking shooting with multiple targets and quick acquisition stuff. It was still easy to hit the targets but obviously groupings weren't really groupings at that fast speed. I was happy to just hit the targets.

Then I did some prairie dog target shooting at 100 yards and destroyed it lol.
