I'd say it isn't too terrible considering I was using some German MEN NATO ball and a 1.5-5x scope. Same thing I didn't take any pictures because it wasn't anything to write home about. I shot two 5 round groups at 100 yards last time I checked the zero on my socom and one was 1.8ish and the other was 2.25 inches. I post targets and results for data collection. I don't post targets to brag, because they are not brag-worthy. I'm trying to figure out which stocks, bullets, velocities, muzzle devices and accessories can make the SOCOM-16 shoot better. If you wait too long, you get a larger diagonal dispersement. One thing I've noticed is that with the SOCOM, you get better groups if you can acquire the target quickly on follow-up shots and reduce the time interval between shots. The SOCOM is also horribly over-gassed and I installed a Schuster gas plug which I can tune to slow down the action when using hotter loads. I solved it by installing a Delta-P muzzle adapter which eliminates this. there's a gap between the muzzle crown and the internal crown of the brake that creates turbulence gap. One of the design flaws in the SOCOM is in the factory muzzle brake. I'm going to mess with 125's again too and see what I can do with those or maybe some 135 grain varminters. All other groups above that grouped somewhere between 1.2" and 1.6" at 50 yards. I did get a nice 0.7" group at 50, then 2.198" (one flyer) at 100 with light loaded 155 grain Berger hybrids with 41.0 grains of IMR-3031. All of them display the 45˚ group dispersion when loaded to max load with 168's and 175's. This is the third or fourth SOCOM I've worked on.

Notice back in my original response to this post, I recommended the Scout and I did so for a reason. The JAE typically milks out the best accuracy in nearly all M14-type rifles. I actually went back to my traditional stock made out of carbon/graphite/kevlar. There's a reason you never see guys posting their groups with their M1A SOCOM's.Īgain, I built this to be a research SOCOM.
