    Help with 6.5Grendel OCW

    I need some help translating my OCW results. I’m shooting a custom 6.5Grendel gas gun with a 22” 1:8 JP barrel. The load is with 8208 XBR, Hornady brass, federal match primers, and Hornady 129gr SST. I only saw a couple light brass swipes and no other pressure signs. Not sure what these results...

    Gradous does it again!

    I really like the T6A. It's just a really versatile stock and fits me well. One thing that amazes me is that for some calibers, there's a load recipe that shoots well in almost all rifles I've put my hands on. For me in 308, I can put 44.4gr of Varget behind a 175SMK or 178Amax and that will...

    Gradous does it again!

    I’ve had Robert Gradous build my bolt guns since 2013 or so, and he’s never let me down. That said, work’s crushed me over the past 2 years and I haven’t shot nearly as much as I’d have liked. I’ve had this beautiful 260Rem by Robert in my safe for at least four months, never been shot...

    Rifle Scopes Best mounts for US Optics scopes?

    So I love Spuhr mounts and have them on a number of my rifles. However, I found a USO 3.2-17x for a great deal and couldn't pass on it. However, I ordered a Spuhr 30mm, 6mil/20moa mount and the USO has too much bulk (turrets + illum) to fit in the mount. I need recommendations for a one piece...

    16-18" bolt action killin rigs: show em.

    it's right around 2600 fps with the suppressor, which I how I always shoot it.

    16-18" bolt action killin rigs: show em.

    This is my 16" Gradous truck gun. It's the only rifle I hunt with now. And boy, does this rifle shoot straight. For an Appalachian mountain gun, it's damn hard to beat.

    Anyone else in the VFW?

    Great to hear. I'm on business in the southern Philippines for a bit but looking forward to having my first beer at the local Post.

    Anyone else in the VFW?

    I was at the Nation's Gun Show this weekend perusing the new dream catcher and jerky offerings and the VFW had a table setup. I have a local post in Berryville, VA and have been considering joining for a while. Had a good chat with the guys, most over 60, and figured it was a good time to join...

    Ordering a GAP-10?

    Sure, but why waste an opportunity to have another upper? It's not like you can only have one... Y'all are no fun! +2 on this being in the wrong section. Oh well.

    Ordering a GAP-10?

    You'll pay a deposit, then take care of the rest when it's built. If you want to use this beyond 800 yards, just go with a 6.5 or a 6 Creedmoor. Then get a 16.5" 308 upper for shits and giggles! Also, I love having the Noveske switchblock on my uppers. It's a great feature. Enjoy, you won't...

    AR stock other than PRS?

    I actually prefer the UBR. It's heavy, sure, but it's rock solid as well. I'm not a long-armed dude so I don't need a really long LOP. UBR works great for me, and it feels great whether you're shooting prone, kneeling, or from a barrier.

    ETA of the 7mm 195gr VLD?

    Very true. I also point all my hybrids for concentricity and to eek out a little better BC. It's tough to find a better ELR combo IMHO.

    ETA of the 7mm 195gr VLD?

    3120-50 FPS, depending on conditions.

    ETA of the 7mm 195gr VLD?

    Same here, can't wait to see this bullet come out. My 7-300WM shoots lights out with the 180gr Hybrid, but I'd do load development with these just to see how they rate. Still, those 180gr Hybrids are a fantastic bullet.
