That makes sense. 55 FMJ is not exactly a wind cheating round!
If I had my F class rifle under those circumstances, I would probably still have shot it, over an AR with 55's! There is just NO consistency to 55's in any kind of wind, that pattern you describe is pretty typical!
+1. Anything under a 77 grain at distance in a .223 is problematic at best. I shoot 600 yards with 77's in my match AR without much issue (I single load 80's). 55's would be all over the place at that distance with anything other than almost calm conditions.
We will have our next FPR this Saturday and the 6.5G and I will be on the line again shooting at 600. Currently shooting 120 SMK's, but moving up to the 123 SMK's.
