Before I put my lower together, was using the 300BO lower with a 3 lb timney trigger. Now just a regular trigger until next month. Already spent my monthly allowance this month.

What are you gonna put in it?

Might look at CMG since a little cheaper. But my 300BO short barrel and my 308 AR short barrel have timney triggers so used to them. Will see what my budget is next month. Now if I could sell my other 300 BO that I have posted, could get it sooner.

What issue are you having with the Hornady bullets? Are these reloads or factory ammo? I'm asking because of curiosity. My 50 will not shoot their 750 gr Amax's worth a crap. I tried them, but could not get them to group, and got random vertical and horizontal stringing.

My .243 (actually wife's gun) won't shoot Hornady very well either. The gun loves Sierra Matchkings on top of Varget. To be fair, I have not tried the newer ELD-M yet.

Reloads. Looked like a shot gun blast at 50 yards. Tried 123 SST and match. Will try 120 match to see how they do.

Sweet. To bad allot of grendel owners have issues with this round. I gave up on it. Wouldn't group for crap at 50 yards. I switched to speer gold dot 120 grain bullet. Doing very well.

You must mean 50 miles. It is a grendel after all.

I wish. Went to range yesterday to try 120 SMK. Worked up close to what I reload the speer bullet. Sweet at 100 yard's. Came up with same load as the speer. I have 12 inches faxon match barrel. Guys with 18-20 inch barrels are getting only 200 fps more than what I am getting with my 12 inch barrel. Was considering building a 18 inch barrel Grendel but after seeing the difference between mine and other longer barrels, not worth it for the small gain.

Another successful deer hunting season with my 6.5 Grendel AR.

About a week before firearms opener, my wife asked me if I had sighted in my rifle. I told her I hadn't unsighted it from last year. She told me I'd better check it since she didn't want to hear about it if something wasn't working correctly once I was out hunting.

I drug out my shooting bench, put a few hand loads in the magazine, and hung a target at 100 yds to verify zero.



I moved to the next drop hash mark on my scope's reticle and fired again, looking for a hole 1" higher than before. Close enough. Scope verified....wife satisfied.



I shot this young 8 pointer as opening day was approaching sundown. It was 176 yds out per the rangefinder. It went 50 yds and dropped. The 120 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip shredded both lungs and didn't exit the buck.

Nice job! Great shooting.
