Range day with factory A-Max - gjpollman - 02-25-2014
This isnt the first time I have shot the grendel since finishing the build a few months back but at least the first day it wasnt so cold I was shaking... pretty decent results overall but I am confident I can improve with some better loads and taking a bit more time but either way its looking sub MOA with factory A-Max

For those interested in the build parts... liberty 18" (got this from Tedward about 6 months ago) to which a gunsmith friend matched the heli break to the barrel and beadblasted, nodic comp rail, JP gas block, rainier arms billet ambi lower, mega side chage upper, young carrier and LBC bolt and lastly the trigger is a hiperfire (if you havent used one you need to get one... hands down the best trigger for an AR I have used)

Nice group. Good feeling, huh?

I have to get the calipers out and get an exact measurement on the group but just looking at that I am confident to say the only thing so far I have shot that grouped better than that has been a 6.5x284 and 7LRM both of which were made by Gunwerks and cost about 6x what I have into the grendel... definitely a good feeling so far especially since I dont seem to be suffering any of the issues that are being discussed at great length on other parts of the forum.

Was it at 100 yards and are the squares 1"? If so....

Yes, 100yrd and 1" squares

The rifle looks great and glad it's a shooter. And yes the comp with the blend job turned out great. Good work.

Yup that will do. Nice rifle. BANG BANG!!!

Very nice. The Grendel is a very addictive little round! Great shooting, and u can't beat that from a gas gun. I was disappointed at first because my Grendel with Templar pipe was just under moa at 100, not like some of the one holers I've seen pics of on here. But the more I shot at longer range, I was extremely pleased, holding under moa out to 730 yds so far. Will go further this spring.

The range I RSO at has a 1000yrd and 1200yrd range so once the roads open to get back to those parts of range I will report in on the 1000... electronic targets so they will do all the math for me...

do you know the muzzle velocity?
Range day with factory A-Max - gjpollman - 02-26-2014
I have not pulled out the chrono yet... I will get that on the next round

Very nice group. Congrats on your build.

gjpollman, is that a Leupold VXR ?
Range day with factory A-Max - customcutter - 02-26-2014
Sweet, I also just finished an 18" Liberty barrel build, and have .010 jump with 123 SST's. Mine was from the group buy. I got it sighted in but only got too put two rounds down it once I was shooting for a group.

Yes its the VXR Patrol 3-9... love the reticle BUT I somewhat would have preferred their TMR reticle and more power. I am looking at ordering a Mark 6 3-18x and keep the VXR for hunting.

I just got a phone call from another guy who got his Satern/Liberty Barrel to the range on one of my Side Charge Upper Rifles. It took a few rounds to get sighted in and once he did he had the numerous people asking what he was shooting. I think the Grendel is out of the bag at 2 ranges here in Northern VA. More to follow. He was also impressed with the low recoil from my New Grendel Comps.

Got it out to 600 yards yesterday... the electronic targets were down so I cant give any feedback on how it held accuracy at distance but after doping the scope (I think it was 5.6mil in elevation) it was very consistant in ringing the steel gongs after figuring out the winds which ranged from 8 to 15mph (about 2 mil of adjustment for wind worked in most cases)
