New to the forum and almost finished with my first grendel build. Just waiting on my JP lmos bcg and silent captured spring.
SLR handgaurd
BA hansen 12.5" barrel
SLR adjustible gas block
JP LOMOS bcg
JP silent capture spring
Larue MBT trigger
Tailhook brace
Thunderbeast flash hider
Nightforce unimount
Bushnel LRTS 4-12
Got to take it out shooting for the first time this weekend. I think my gasblock is off just a little bit. It wouldnt cycle even with the gas block all the way open. But strangley after about 80 rounds thru it started cycling when a full mag was inserted. Mag was a 17rd elander. Didnt have a way to pull the handgaurd to get to the gasblock screws to try amd rotate it. I started off zeroing with 123gr american gunner and did a 5 shot group with that. Then i proceeded to shoot (3) 5 shot groups with 123gr american gunner, AA 123gr lapua scenar, federal GMM 130gr berger. It shot decent with all 3 different ammo, nothing extraordinary. The wind was gusting from 10-20 mph the whole time i was out. Im sure a lot of the issue with the groups opening was me. I puller my atlas off my ar10 and used that shooting off a camping table. The best group was shot with the scenar at 5/8 moa. The groups with the american gunner averaged 1- 1/2moa with the last group opening to 2- 1/2moa. The federals averaged around 2moa. I think these groups can be tightened up. Either way i plan on buying a 12" krieger from PF and using this barrel for a build for my wife.
I then put my plate up and went to 400yards. First round impact, 2nd round impact 3.4 mils. Only did 2 shots since i was short for time. I was supposed to be getting ready for a funeral. I then had a little fun with my vudoo 22 and was dinging the plate at 400 with that. 19.8 mils elevation and 7mils for wind. I then went out to 600 yards. First round impact 6mils for elevation. 600 yards was about the max i could get consistent hits with this barrel and shooting the 123gr american gunner. I shot this ammo because this is the ammo i had inputed in jbm balistics. Id be interested to see how the other 2 do in the future. I then went back to 800 yards. The american gunner and myself was having a hard time with the wind at this distance. I did happen to get 2 impacts but that was out of about 15 shots. I was rushed and didnt write down my elevation but it was around 9.8 mils. I did shoot 3 rounds of the scenar at this distance and with the higher bc it was shooting quite a bit higher with the dope i had. Im excited to dive into this round more and have some fun with it. I took it out for some coyotes but didnt see any that werent too close to houses. I did shoot some prarie dogs with my 22 at around 150-200 yards.[ATTACH=CONFIG]14747[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]14744[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]14748[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]14745[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]14746[/ATTACH]
