A well set up M1icon should be able to shoot like this at 100yds with well prepared handloads. I realize everyone wants to stretch their reloading budget by buying cheap bullets, but if accuracy is a goal, you really need to use better bullets than FMJ.

This rifle has not been accurized with glass bedding or any of the procedures used on NM M1's. It has however been tuned to be legal for CMPicon Garand matches. There are two threads in this sub forum on this, one to tune the trigger, and one for the rest of the rifle. Everything in them is within the ability of the moderately skilled gun tinkerer.
