Dont own one myself but have talked to a friend who has found it is very picky when it comes to repeatability off of bags. From what i recal he has found shooting off a bipod to be more accurate. Using vmax and reloader7

I haven't had time to do any load development for mine yet but I have tried a few varieties of factory. Both 55 and 60gr nosler stuff as well as some 62gr. pmc, accuracy has been not bad overall and pretty good with nosler 60gr match. I haven't had any issues with regards to function.

I'm using 77gr SMK's in mine. It's very accurate. I'll probably go a little lighter when I use all of these heavier pills though. And I'm not a fan of the ATRS polymer magazines. Mine had some FTF issues because of that mag. But with the LAR15's.....wonderful! I also tried the Beowolf mags from PCV with zero feeding issues (but with only 14 rounds, not 15). Accuracy wise, mine is under 3/4 of an inch at 100 yards. But really, this is not a distance/accuracy type of rifle. It's a cqb rifle. I'd rather use a bolt gun for yotes at distance. But, I'm really looking forward to ruining some Richardson's ground squirrels in the spring and summer with it.

The round count on mine is approaching 1000, and I'm lov'n it!

Hard to see an 18.6" barrel as a CQB rifle. But 3/4" is no slouch, and perfectly capable of dealing with notes at all ranges.
