I had the same model about a year ago. I have been reloading 223 for my AR previously and continued with some tweaking some recipes..It would group under 1" at 100yds and about 1 1/2" at 300yds..Now the issue I had was that about third or fourth round started having group open up by at least another 1-1 1/2"at 300yds..Small sport barrel gets hot quick and moves around..Only fac ammo that I tried was Hornady Superformance 53gr varmint..It will make it shoot small groups. Not as good as hand loads but pretty good..Cost is about a buck a round..save your brass as one day you might reload and costs advg about .35 to .50 round..I sold it couple months later and bought an 11VT on sale at Dicks sporting goods..It has larger varmint style barrel and not effected as much when hot..It will shoot 1/2 MOA 6 shots in a row..Easily take out golf balls at 300yds...I limit barrel temp to under 118* MAX..I also agree with Darkker about your scope..Sell it to someone with a pellet or BB gun..My scope for my distances is 6.5X24X44- 1/8moa clicks and clear lens..I can see bullet holes in splatter targets at 300yds..Hope this helps you some..Ex.
