Went to the range today with new loads 7/21/22 - DIANEB - 07-21-2022

I loaded up ammo yesterday so I went to the range today... I took the BCA 6.5 Grendel 18" barrel Rise armament 3lbs trigger...
I changed the scope mount the other day to a 20MOA mount...
The first target has two 5 shot groups at 100 yards that were low...The load was 95 V-Max 26.6 grains RL 10X CCI 450, COL 2.245"
Made a few more scope adjustments...
The second target is my best 5 shot group EVER at 100 yards...
120 ELD 26.5 grains of Benchmark CCI 450's COL 2.245"...
All trimmed to 1.510"
The bulls eyes are 1 inch...

I remember back in the day I was told by the powers that be (not this site) that benchmark was too fast for the grendel. I have always had great luck with benchmark and TAC

Somebody told me the same thing at a gun store about a year ago...
After reading some of the threads here I decided to try benchmark and I'm glad I did...

and benchmark (if you can find it) is temp stable.

Benchmark works great for me in the Grendel. I use it with 100gr NPTs

Can't find Benchmark anywhere. Looks to be completely dried up. I'm on a bunch of wait/wish lists for this powder...

I was very lucky about month ago one of the local gun shops had a bunch of Benchmark in stock so the owner let me buy 4 lbs of it...

At least someone I know of has had good luck. For me... "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all, gloom, despair & agony on me!" :eek:

This is their payment system:

Never seen a legit site have to go thru this to order. They may be legit but I personally would not trust this type of payment system.

Not gonna do it! Checked it out like jasper did. Won't take the chance they're legit or not.
