    Effects/Benifits of training with steel case ammo (6.5 Grendel)

    Just buy the steel cased stuff then replace the factory bullets with better ones of the same weight (100gr). Apparently the Wolf's poor accuracy is due in part to undersized bullets. You can get fairly decent practice ammo then for under $0.60/round, no case prep, no looking for brass after...

    Rifle Scopes Return to zero failures

    Split rings: I've followed a number of threads over the years where the shooter had not followed the instructions for mounting his scope in a Larue mount. Most tried to "even up" the top and bottom screws, vs tightening the bottom screws to spec first, then tightening the top screws. I could...

    Anybody shooting a short barrel grendel?

    I have not chrono'd the Wolf but Hornady 123gr SST goes about 2200fps.

    Anybody shooting a short barrel grendel?

    Love shooting my 11.5" Grendel. It happily eats Wolf steel cased and Hornady 123gr SSTs. Wolf is about 3-4MOA and Hornady is right around MOA.

    6.5 Grendel vs 6.5 PCC

    If you want factory ammo support, Grendel is it. If you want to shoot Berger 130gr Hybrid Tactical bullets with their outstanding BC, Grendel is it. If you want enough case capacity to stave off buyer's remorse, Grendel is it. Stick with Grendel...

    Rifle Scopes Elcan Specter DR 1-4 , any buyers regret ?

    I've owned a few of these. Eventually sold them all. Heavy for the mag range, ARMS lever mounts suck, very expensive. You can do better with a low-power variable optic for much less $$.

    DPMS .308 Gen II compatibility

    No, they are not. Key dimensions are totally different (overall receiver length, spacing between takedown pin holes, etc).

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    I was never able to get the 178gr Superformance factory ammo to work reliably out of any of my AR308 gas guns... Blown primers and poor accuracy were the order of the day. I did not have any 12.5" guns but I did own a range of AR308s with barrels from 14.5" to 22". Are you using a tuned gas...

    Holy smokes, DPMS G2 rifles

    Agreed! :) I was just commenting that compatibility with standard AR15 rails was one of the things that initially excited me about the G2 platform, but the reality turned out a bit differently. Aside from the MI SSK and Samson rails, I fully expect more manufacturers (including DPMS) to release...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex warranty rocks

    My Nightforce F1 went in because the zero stop would not turn... It took them 4 weeks to repair and return. As folks have said already in this thread, scopes fail. Just a fact of life.

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    The part where you specify whether you headspaced the now-Grendel chamber to the .264LBC bolt... :)

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Just so everyone is clear: this is 6.5 Grendel ammo being shot through a .264LBC rifle. YMMV. Exactly. My 16" Grendel puts a smile on my face and that's all that matters to me as well.

    credit card fraud

    MidwayUSA for me, earlier this week... Next day my card got flagged for fraud and it was indeed used for fraudulent purchases. Luckily the CC company caught the false transactions, backed them out, and issued a new card number.

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Mobile App

    LOL... iPhone app is rated 17+ for "Frequent/Intense Realistic Violence." I don't think Apple gets it... Any possibility of an iPad app? My iPad Mini in a LifeProof case is my go-to ballistic calculating device. Thanks!

    NRA Freestyle show NOIR

    It's kind of becoming the "Darren La Sorte Show" for me because he has the same sort of enthusiastic personable approach that Jimmy Fallon has on the Tonight Show. I think Noir comes off a bit too smug and Amy needs to stop deferring to him.
