Greetings from a LONG time Grendel shooter in AL - knitepoet - 12-29-2020
Been a grendel owner/shooter/reloader for MANY years (Back before it was a SAAMI round) Currently own 2. An AA Overwatch 24" with the Shilen barrel upgrade plus a Burris Signature 6-24x, and a custom Rem 799 "mini-mauser" with a #1 contour Shilen, that is my favorite deer rifle.
Have a video of myself splitting a playing from 100yrds with the overwatch, took 2 shots because I missed a slight puff of wind on the 1st shot.
Typing this instead of being at the loading bench loading a box of 50 of my OW's favorite load (26.0 H4895, AA case, Wolf SR primer and 123gr Hor A-Max at 2.25")
Also going to cook up some test loads with Power Pro 2000MR, and some new Starline cases, plus a few of my pet load to see if the new cases change anything. Average MV is 2375. Not fast, even by grendel standards, HOWEVER, I can deal with the slow speed, for the 0.25" groups this load routinely gives at 100 yards.

Welcome to the Horde from just down da bayou. I, for one, will be looking forward to hearing more about your load
work-ups with different powders/bullets combos.
