Any High Power shooters out there.

I was curious if any AR-15 shooters in the Service Rifle class would tell me what kind of scores their shooting across the course. I would just like to set myself a reasonable goal.

well i guess i'm in trouble again ,[:0]Just some of my humble thoughts![:I]
What I don't like about your post is how concerned you seem to be about other people scores. Forget about what the guy next to you is doing and worry about shooting your absolute best. Setting a "reasonable goal" is the same as setting a built in limit for yourself. If you simply decide that you'll be happy with a score of XXX then I can promise you that will be all you'll manage to do.
If everyone on the line with you is an expert, master, or a high master and you set your expectations based on the kinds of scores these guys are racking up you will walk away disgusted with yourself! Why be happy with only your "expected" performance any way? You just want to be satisifed with your personal best performance. I've shot both service and match rifles for many years and have never even approached the expert or master level, but one fine day 5 years ago I broke through the 84% barrier and earned a sharpshooter rating. I shot the best that I could do on that day and I've never even been close again since- but it was the best shooting day in my life!
