Range Report for the Grendel

ducks-and-bucks

It took me some time to find my load, I'ave said I've had some good luck with this rig... I've been collecting data and have a pretty good spread sheet set up elevation wise. Windage wise, well lets just say reading the wind isn't my best skill yet. Windage wise I need more practice doping in the wind at longer ranges past 500 yards. Only thing I want to work on is possibly replacing the stock, my length of pull is too short for prone shooting.

Specs:

6.5 Grendel Custom Build AR-15
Satern 1:8.25 twist heavy bull 24 inch
Stag lower replaced with Gisselle trigger set at 8 OZ
Satern matching bolt
Les Baer bolt carrier
Aero Precision stripped upper
SWFA SS fixed 10X MRAD
American Rifle Co. one piece scope rings

Lapua Brass
123 AMAX
Federal small rifle match primer
28.7 gr Reloader 15
2700 FPS

I highlighted 10X because a few of you ask why I've shot at a bigger circle. My answer is 1- I've been too cheap to buy targets and 2- I needed the circle a little bigger to see it at these distances with the 10X scope

1st pic is from the day I found my load 100 yards


Just in case anyone is wonders the bottom 4 shots as a group were .114MOA measured outside edges minus the .264. Yes I agree the 5 shot group is what counts.
