Morning Ladies and Gents,
Just wanted to post the obligatory new guy thread .
I hail from the furthest corner in Indiana without hitting Michigan or Ohio, am a veteran, firearms enthusiast, and reloader. I come seeking to expand my knowledge from the experts
Am currently piecing together my first Grendel and am new to the cartridge. Once I get a chance to sight it in and test out some loads, I'll post updates but in the mean time, been picking through the forum here for words of wisdom.
The build (for transparency sake) consists of an Anderson lower, Odin Works LPK, Rifle buffer setup and LuthAR MBA1 stock....and a BCA upper (yeah, yeah) ...because I try to be frugal (or cheap, take your pick :P).
I've wanted a Grendel since first learning of the name, then did a paper comparison with the .224 Valkyrie and the ballistics are nearly identical out to about 800 yards but the Grendel delivers significantly more energy at that distance - and I only have 650 or so to play with in any case.
Full disclosure - I am also going to try out some converted 7.62x39 brass, which I have resized and will fire form first. I'm only doing this because I have a large amount of 7.62x39 brass and no real use for it...with Wolf being so cheap.
I do have official Grendel brass as well. I am just waiting on bullets, to check where the lands start in my barrel before working on COAL.
Once I get to fire it, I'll report in on that - and a review of the BCA upper (it does look good though ).
Thanks!
JJ
