Bad shooter or the gun not liking anmo

Ok guys what about this. Was 55 rounds today over the course of a few hours. Tried doing everything the same. No rushing ect. Three different powders . 15min to an hour in between shots ( was doing this in-between chores lol)

To me it seems plain and simple this gun just doesn't like BL-C 2 as a power. Powder and charge where the only things I really changed. Went as far as in the last BL-C2 charges I had used larger stickies to just see if would help then I went back and shit the same loads with un modded targets. Just to see. Again does anything in these groups indicate possible shooter error or more that the gun like something more then another thing?

And sorry don't know why two of them are upside down

Try some sierra 69's.
Those group sizes are the same that I got when I was using RMR bullets. From time to time, I would get a well less than MOA group with a certain powder charge. But could never repeat with the same charge.

If it won't repeat, it didn't happen.
 
Ok so this is a little test I did the other day with factory ammo . I usually don't.shoot any factory past rimfire or when I'm just getting fire formed stuff off a new gun. By the time I find what factory stuff a gun like I usually could have gotten a pound of powder and possibly some bullets and a few primers. But was filming a review on this and thought it would be fun to try .I know it's kinda crap ammo but locally this is the most I could get selection wise . About all anyone wants here is mil spec and some hp's .To me it shows plain and simple what the gun likes and what it doesn't but I've been told other things :D crappy shooter , my gun shoots the same stuff great yadda yadda , y'all know the drill lol !
Admittedly I'm about a 1.5 MOA shooter.. but shooting 1" -3/4" less from the bench is fairly common and easy for me . Also never had this x tax shoot well in much for me or people I know 2-3 moa @100yd is about average but again folks swear up and down this stuff is "great " :D also was the first 30rd out this gun so maybe this is breaking in ?
Idk it's a pretty crap barrel I'm planning on chunking anyway so meh ....
Anyhow what say y'all

But you don't tell what kind of rest you are using, if any, any windflags, wind conditions at the time of your test. All will affect accuracy individually and possible cumulatively. If possible you want to test the rifle and load, not the shooter...as much as you can. Why bother to test with a "crap" barrel?

Well why not ? Yes I'm gonna replace it but I've actually been able to get crap barrels to shoot before. I actually kinda enjoy playing with load development and ...well honestly it's just an excuse to shoot wish I also like doing. No to mention I work away from home so it's gonna be next month because I can get a new barrel in to swap so just seeing that happens in the mean time

No offense intended, but you should just enjoy yourself. Nobody's rushing you. Everyone here likes you and is interested in your ideas because they do not follow the normal youtube routine. I tune in to see what your are doing regularly.

Equation: Questionable rifle + cheap ammo + condition variables + cheap barrel + unknown scope quality + questionable trigger + questionable bench techniques = one possible answer - all of these less than optimum variables combined will not answer your original question - ever. So, all you can do is look at the results and make your own determination.

So, unless you are making money off youtube clicks to pay for your hobby, you will eventually find that you could save your money, buy quality stuff, and really enjoy shooting something that is capable of consistently hitting your small gopher target's eye.
