Just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with the PSA 6.5 grendel upper? Interested in picking one up as a short hunting upper for my SBR. Interested in what the accuracy is like with this upper. Thanks everyone!

Any chrono data with other Ammo? 123 Hornady or the like?I got 1” with 90gr Speer TNTs 2315FPS
Have any first hand info that would backup that statement? Not saying your wrong, just wondering if I can get more details if you have some first hand experience with their stuff.Psa and accuracy don't belong in same sentance
Roughly 100FPS slower if I remember correctly. I was shooting Hornady black 123sAny chrono data with other Ammo? 123 Hornady or the like?
Not trying to hijack the post but if you get that subsonic load to cycle I'd really like to hear about it. Digging the setup.I picked one up last year and just finished it off. Overall goal was a fun gun that is a Jack of all sort of rifle. I got the 12" SS barrel with 10" rail complete upper and the a psa lower with parts kit. Got everything cerekoted and kept it stock except for a SiCo ASR Flash Hider. Running factory 123 SST and 123 ELDM I was getting 2180 and 2200. Accuracy was what you would expect from a budget AR at 2-3 MOA.
I worked up some 95gr Vmax over CFE223 and get consistent 1 MOA and just a couple fps shy of 2400. I topped it with a Vortex diamondback tactical and a Leupold deltapoint pro I had laying around on a 45 mount.
My Omega showed up last weekend and just started playing with that. I am toying with some 147gr ELDMs over trailboss (1050fps) just to see if it can be done. Wide open with the gas block and still wont cycle but crazy quiet. The barrel is just a touch slow as they show a little wobble at 100yds.
For what I was after and what I paid I couldn't be happier. Fun little gun that shoots well and looks cool. For the price you cant go wrong. My only negative comment is the factory finish is pretty poor. I set the old birdcage on the work bench and a month later noticed it was starting to rust from me handling it. So a coating of some sort is recommended. View attachment 7313749
11.5" Lilja 6.5G SBR. 6.5 Ultra 9 does keep it quiet. Very nice rifle and I love Grendel, I just prefer it in a longer barrel myself.
8.5" Noveske bbl., 3" shorter with better performance, especially when suppressed. Capable of ~2300fps w/115gr. --near AK47 level performance:
