    Interesting video. although the Grendel is very accurate, the AR15 platform accuracy and performance is what I find most attractive.

        Good press. With his other upcoming vids about the Grendel, it should serve to introduce a few more to the Horde.

          That one looks to have the 20" HB and velocities with the 123gr AMAX were in the 2440s. I like!

          Thanks, Dinny

            I noticed in the comments of the video someone mentions ruger and mossberg are testing prototype guns in 6.5 Grendel. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

              Can't confirm nor deny, can only wish that Ruger makes one!

                  Those velocities were really slow for a 20". It looked like what I get from my 16" over a chrono.

                  I also noticed that his chrono was blowing all over with each shot, so I wonder if it was the correct distance from the muzzle.

                    LRRPF,
                    Do you think the difference in velocities could be due to his barrel being newer than yours and not broken in? Or perhaps a quality or rifling difference?

                    Thanks, Dinny

                      I also thought the velocity was slow.. especially since the factory hornady match stuff tends to be quite fast in my experience. I really wish they would offer this in a youth length of pull... would be PERFECT for my kids.

                        No. That wouldn't matter. He should be seeing at least 2500fps with a 20" with that load, often 2550fps for a 20".

                          What sort of speeds would you expect to see with the 22" barrel version? 2650-ish?

                            2580-2610 in my experience, depending on the barrel
