    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    About 95% of my Grendel mags are ASC from over a ten year+ period. In every bit the manner we tune our rifles, I take whatever time necessary to tune/deburr/smooth all of the feed edges, as well as drop the feed height of end of mags by a sixteenth or so, to remove any impediments to proper...

    N 133 with 75-80 grain bullets in 223 and 223 Ackley

    Been a regular user of AR Comp in 223 using 22.1gr with 75gr Hornady BTHP’s. Primary powder for 6.5 Grendel as well. Always looking for temp stable alternatives with pricing of ARC being what it is these days. VV seems a viable option based on a bunch of collective feedback here. Molon seems...

    ~1.3" 34mm cantilever mount on AR?

    I run a DMR2PRO and a LRTSi on two AR10’s with no clearance or eye relief issues. A cantilever for certain, just isn’t excessively long and sits close to front of upper receiver pic rail.

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    This was an exceptional string for SD, and most others run 5-7 SD, but 2550ish is my everyday load using 120 Scenar L, 27.0gr AR Comp, CCI450 at 2.225 OAL, which is about .020-.025 off lands in 20” Proof CF barrel. Not a universal load for all my Grendel’s, but damn close. Velocity varies by...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    I’ll take a slightly more reasonable approach to this whole argument, as there is no point arguing the merits of either caliber, as they’re both worthy in sensible, real world applications. My whole reasoning behind Grendel, and as an early adopter of the Grendel and owner of multiple other 6.5...

    6.5 Grendel

    Something to add about AR Comp, I’ve also had very good accuracy, consistency and low SD’s with 75/77’s in 223, 155’s in 308 and in a pinch, light 120/123’s in a 6.5CM. Not the highest velocity, but very predictable and again, consistent. In the last few years of having to manage components...

    6.5 Grendel

    Am in TX Hill Country and also subject to big temp swings throughout the year. I load for a handful of Grendel’s from 18-24”, and have had excellent accuracy and temp stability with AR Comp and 120-123gr Nosler BT/CC, Hornady SST, Lapua Scenars and Sierra TGK/BTHP. All between 2500-2550...

    Stupid question #3 for the day Scope rail cant and ballistics calculations

    Have all 20MOA mounts and have always used height above bore at turret centerline-should that be at centerline of objective instead?

    45ACP

    I have used a hot water weaker citric acid solution on suppressed brass for about 30-45 minutes with some success, but it seems to ‘etch’ the brass a bit. Be interesting to see how you get it done in 3.5 minutes without hitting the brass too hard.

    Proof Carbon

    Have 20” Grendel and 20” +2 gas 6.5 CM that are both lasers. Have built 2 more of each for friends that extremely pleased with performance. These are all CF, though would expect same results from their SS barrels. Owen at Front Range Precision has been a great source for all.

    BCGs “Optimized” for Suppressors

    I built a pair of 6.5 CM with 20” +2 Proof CF barrels in the peak of everything being in short supply a couple years back. As a result, went with RCA adjustable key BCG’s and after some fiddling with the stop screws, was able to dial to a position both would function properly both suppressed...
