Got out two weekends ago and put some rounds through the Grendel. This is basically a new gun (45 rounds through it prior) and it shot well, the shooter may have not done as well as the gun would shoot. All 5 shot groups and the velocity is the average of 5 shots. Chrony was set up 10 foot from the muzzle.
