I didn’t mess with that load because it’s the same one I shoot in my bolt gun.

I've built 2 Ar's that will hold less than 1/2" all day IF I do my part. 1st 223 Wylde 20" varmint barrel from Rock River. This thing shoots everything I put through it well.
2nd 6.5 Grendel. 24" Krieger heavy barrel. Very picky. Won't shoot any factory ammo worth crap but will put 123gr ELD with 29gr CFE223 under 1/2".

I don’t remember who it was on here but back in the days of the AR debates, someone told me my RRA was a bottom level gun that I spent way too much on and their baseline Colt you could buy at walmart was far superior.

A match grade barrel with a properly head spaced matching bolt would be a good start. But the results still won’t be “guaranteed”.
The 223wylde chamber is supposed to be more accurate. Grendels seem to always perform, even the cheap ones. Ar15performance.com supposedly puts out some accurate stuff, but I have no personal experience.
In my opinion if you're seeing MOA from an AR, you're doing well enough. Besides, in the time it takes to get back on target with that level of precision you could have cycled a bolt.

Standard size/weight AR-15 using AR Performance 6.8SPC upper and Timney drop in trigger. First time out with it, 3/8" 5 shot group @ 100 yds using Hornady premium 120 gr. The one shot that is top/center of bull's eye is last zero shot, then shot the 5 shot group... I was flabbergasted! I'm a bolt gun guy, but I bought this gun because the guy swore it would do sub-moa with this ammo... told me to bring it back if I didn't like it... Right now today, if I were to grab a gun to go deer/hog or other similar size animal hunting, I'd grab this sucker over my heavy bolt guns in a heartbeat. Had it several years, but it was $1,600.00 delivered to my hands.
