Question: What level of precision do you experience out of your 6.5 Grendel barrel? In particular, I'm interested the size of 10-shot (or larger) groups at 100 yards (or any distance if group size expressed in MOA or MILs). Those ten shots can be shot all at once, 5 shots then barrel cool, or whatever---but all 10 at the same point of aim without ignoring any "fliers." I'm not particulalry interested in the size of your 3-shot or 5-shot groups unless you shoot several of them in a row AND correlate the different groups to the same point of aim and come up with an aggregate group size.
For various reasons, I'm currently using 10-shot groups to compare different loads and factory ammo loadings. I don't particualry want to debate the merits of that versus other load development methods in this thread---I'm just looking for data to compare to on an apples-to-apples basis.
I appreciate your experience and feedback on this. I'm trying to establish something of a baseline to compare a particular rifle against. I have quite a bit of experience with semi-precision reloading for a bolt-action rifle, but considerably less so with an AR15. I've loaded for ARs for a long time, but only relatively recently have I began shooting (local) matches with them or paying as much attention to my precision and repeatability as I do to my bolt action rifles. I want to make sure my expectations of the AR15 are realistic. Thanks in advance!
