Anyone have an idea of how different the POI would be for a AR15 sighted at 50y with M855 using a conversion kit and .22LR at that distance? Figure on 36 or 40g "high velocity" ~1250fps or so.

I happened to see a video on youtube along these lines today. Let me see if I can find it again.
I have the CMMG conversion and it runs flawlessly, BTW. Takes about 20 seconds to swap it in/out.
I got the basic kit for $150 locally as part of a package deal; would have preferred/bought the stainless kit but this is what they had and now thinking about it, for the money I might go for a dedicated upper for that kind of dough. Maybe. I dunno.
Saw this thread over at ar15 with some contradictory but interesting info:So at that distance (30y according to what the guy said) it's basically the same. Some searching around says that it might be generally within a few inches up to 50y. I think for what I want to use it for that it'll work.
Maybe Santa will get me a CMMG stainless kit for XMAS?

In the video, the guy was talking about using "velocitors" which is part of what sent me looking further.Yeah I'm not interested in shooting the hyper velocity stuff, just standard "high" velocity .22LR (~1250fps is usually what I see unless it's "standard" velocity)

I am finding my conversion setup to be firing quite low at short range, but my eyes aren't those of a teenager any more, I don't have a scope and I've been shooting it hand-held indoors exclusively.
What ammo are you using?
Shoot it from a supported/bench and see if it still performs?
Have you zero'd the rifle?
Did you rub pixie dust on the 22 Conversion BCG?
Oh, if the rifle was zero'd for 50 or 100 yds and you're shooting 50 ft, it should be shooting low. (unless I'm talking outta my ass, which is plausible).

That makes sense. That's probably about what I'm seeing. I was thinking that it might be worse at distance, but this makes sense.All ARs shoot low at close distances. This is due to the height of the sights above the bore. Sighted in at 50 yds (my favorite as the gun is also on at 200 yds) my 223 AR shoots one in low at 25 yds, two in low at 15 yds, and 2.25 in low at 10 yds. MY dedicated 22 rim fire AR shoots pretty much the same.
If you have the CMMG conversion kit you need one of these to prevent jams
