DD,
like everything mass produced by human hands, sometimes you get a "hummer" and sometimes a "bummer". the better barrel makers make more hummers than bummers, but we're not perfect, so neither are our products.
reasonable group.... depends on who's shooting too. one of the "presidents' 100" is way better at it than i am. how is your bench technique? i've not heard a lot of bad about faxon barrels. Obviously they don't rate up there like Krieger or Obermeyer. also make sure your load is up to it too as others have mentioned. they have good suggestions on a goto bullet for testing accuracy. i can see the problem you may have right now is finding either the federal match ammo or the correct loading components as everything seems to be sold out right now.
it's very hard to say what your faxon barrel should group with your loaded ammo with you shooting, with your scope at your range. have you shot an AR a lot in competition? or is an AR platform new to you?
others can comment on what kind of groups they get with their faxon barrel, on their build, and with their load, with their scope, at their range. trying to tell you what you should be getting is not realistic in my opinion. too many unknown variables.
not trying to be grumpy or a smartass, but even for me, what i can get out of my platform vs letting a top shooter shoot my platform will give 2 different results of how even my AR groups.
