Re: 6.5 Grendel opinions???

I built a Grendel a few months ago. I have a 24" 1:7, and its not a 300 yard gun. Its a 600 -1100 yards gun. 18" barrel is not prime for this round. 20"+ is what you want to do. I have a Vortex Gen1 PST 6-24x50 FFP scope on mine. This AR rifle is definitely meant to reach out ant touc...

Re: Loading 300 aac black out

I load 168 gr BTHP with H110 and CCI #450 with 16.0 and they are still super sonic. I load for a 16" with a pistol gas tube set up. If you are going 220 I would say stay around 9.4 gr max. Might be okay to go less if you are using an 8" to 10" barrel.
