Today I was able to get out and throw a little lead. No chorny or pics sorry. Second time shooting the grendel. I used factory 123 a max followed up with my handloads of 125 nos pt an 123 amax.
Here's rifle specs.
18in AA barrel w/ 1/8.75 twist
Nikon 3x12x40 m 223
trigger is a 3lb timney signal stage.
stock voltor a5
Factory 123 amax did all right Im alittle over a inch. With the hand loads of the nos pt and the 123 amax they tightened up a little with the nos being better. These were just test loads using imr 8208. I'm still in building a phase so the jury is still out on the accurcey. Here's the recipe all brass was new hornady, primers cci 450 col was 2250 crimped. Charges with 8208 27.7 27.9 28.1. Next week I'm gonna push the envelope and bump up the charges slowly to max loads to get these things dialed in I hope
