Just finished my first 6.5 G AR-15 build. Build goals: Durable long range precision shooter.

Ammo
So far I have only been able to score Hornady 6.5 Grendel 123 grain SST ammo. Still waiting for some good brass and bullets to become available. I'll make hand loads with the Hornady dies.
Up Next
After break-in and once the Shilen barrel is verified accurate, I will be sending it off to be threaded and a muzzle brake installed.
