Good morning guys. New to the Grendel and to reloading for it. I have a PSA 18" upper with a AAC 7.62 can on it. Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4x16 scope on it. I have about 60 rounds through it so far. I have once fired brass some test loads loaded with the 120 gr. Speer Gold Dot, and the 130 gr. Sierra TGK using TAC. Bought some AR Comp yesterday also.

Welcome to the clan, U2, from your neighbor to the south. What part of the territories are you in and what are your goals?

U2, thank you for your service.

Thank you all. Just looking to learn from those who know a lot ore than I do. I want to develop the most effective and accurate handloads that I can.

Here are a few of my new handloads I shot Sunday. I think the barrel is settling in. These are way better than the factory ammo I started with. Even the Hornady 123 gr SST's didn't do nearly this well. This was from 100 yards and off of a wobbly bench and a bipod. 90 gr Speer TNT, 120 Speer Gold Dot, and Sierra 130 gr TGK. TAC and AR Comp are the only two rifle powders I have but I'd say they will suffice. Rifle is a PSA 18" upper 1/8". Vortex 4x16 Diamondback tactical. The TGK target says TMK but these were Tipped game King projos.

usmc0353, wobbly bench, huh? Still, not bad. If your near Coweta let me know if you'd like to shoot at one of the two local ranges [with solid benches]. We can have coffee and burn some powder. I'll even bring a 6.5G along.
Same for you 'wideglide'.

Sounds great sundog! Are you referring to Oil Capital? I'm only a few mile away from there.
