Good afternoon all. New to the forum, and still learning the Grendel. Im from the patron state of shooting stuff, so of course I can shoot about 70yd in my backyard.
I bought a 6.5 BCA upper last November, but to make an incredibly long and frustrating story short, I received it in March with little time to shoot before weather and work heated up. Its a 20 fluted HB. I built a PSA stealth lower, put in an aftermarket trigger, and have really enjoyed shooting it so far
So much, in fact, that I traded into a Howa mini in 6.5 a few months later, threw together some quick loads, and was instantly impressed by how accurate and fun it was to shoot. Im hooked on the little cartridge now.
Anywho, I coach/teach youth shooting sports, have 3 kids who are all into hunting (well, the 6 year old is excited to start this year), and I pride myself in introducing kids to shooting and hunting safely. Last season I was able to assist in getting 2 kids outside of the family on their first deer last season, one young adult outside the family on his first buck, my middle child (younger daughter) on her first 2 bucks, and my oldest daughter on two deer. Quite a season, but it shows why I like light recoiling, yet effective, rifles.
I look forward to learning and sharing soon!

Welcome to the clan, ETH, fromn the great nation of Texas! Yes! As you've discovered, the Grendel is an ideal round for teaching kis and recoil sensitive folks to shoot'n hunt. I built one for my nephew who is wheelchair bound and absolutely recoil intolerent and he loves it! Now he chases deer and coyotes with it, successfully!
