I went back out today, on my own, and was able to take my time.
In all I spent four hours looking down the scope so now everything appears a hair fuzzy. lol
I shot several different brands/loads of ammo and found three I felt were superior, a few that were serviceable and the rest were just a mess.

A brief run down is as follows...
AE M193(50/100): 1"-2" / 3"-4"
Frontier M193(50/100): 1"-2" / 3"-4"(This seemed to group oddly compared to the AE M193)
Frontier 556 62gr SP(100): 2.5"-3.5"
Federal Fusion 223 62gr(50/100): 2" / 3"
Federal 223 55gr Nosler Tip(50/100): 1.25-1.50" / 1.25"-3"
Winchester 556 55gr FMJ(50/100): 2" / 4"
Winchester 223 64gr Power Point(50/100): 2"-2.5" / 3.5"
Hornady Black 556 62gr(50/100): 1" / 4"
Hornady Black 223 62gr(50/100): 1"-2.5" / 5.5"
Hornady 223 55gr SP(50/100): 0.5"-2" / 2"
Fiocchi Extrema 223 55gr PSP(50/100): 1"-2" / 1"-2"
PPU 223 Match 69gr HPBT(50/100): 1.25" / 3.5"-4"
Black Hills 223 68gr Heavy Match HP(50/100): 3" / 3.5"
Black Hills 223 69gr Match(50/100): 2" / 4.5"
Black HIlls 223 75gr Match HP(50/100): 4.25" / 4.5"
Black HIlls 223 77gr HP(50/100): 1.25" / 1.5"
What rifle/barrel are you shooting? Also is it free floated? Is the barrel crowned correctly? What kind of scope mount, is it concentric, is it torqued properly? These are the first few questions that come to mind reading this thread. I really don’t think you’re that far off from general AR practical accuracy with factory ammunition. You could most certainly tighten those groups up with some consistent hand loads.
