Yes, shooting .223/5.56, if you have a good zero, anything will shoot to point of aim at such a short distance. There is essentially no drop at that distance, so muzzle velocity or ballistic coefficient are pretty much irrelevant.

As you go further out things diverge

One interesting experiment would be to do the same thing with a 9mm carbine. Considering the substantial drop at 100 yards with 9mm, I'd bet you would see the different brands and bullet weights impact in very different places.

Yup. These data aren’t surprising, but I had never actually put the group deviations down on paper and aggregated them before.

I think you’re right on 9mm. Though, the group sizes for 9mm would be much bigger anyway, so I’m curious if there would still be sizeable overlap of the groups even with their larger deviations between groups.
