6.5 Grendel II ~vs~ regular grendel.....?

[cory]

I know its been discussed, ive searched, but all the threads were jibberish and no one really seemed to have an answer at the beginning of the year...

what is this grendel II chambering for? From what i understamd it does not work correctly with regular grendel ammunition...?

Can someone or a few set me straight with correct info please?


Main reason i ask is im slowly building a "on the cheap" a grendel for my uncle... and came across those AR stoner barrels from midway made by satern....

The "Grendel II" chamber was nothing more than a cover your ass exercise by the company you should have seen mentioned in the "jiberish". That company put out a lot of economy barrels with short throats, did not meet the SAAMI spec, that were potentially catastrophically hazardous to the shooter. Rather than admitting their mistake, recalling the barrels and replacing them, they took the stance that they were within spec and the problem was the design of the Grendel Chamber. However, they were going to take the "higher" ground and offer to ream out your chamber to a "better" chamber. There's a lot of bad blood between AA and Satern that explains some of this.

The "Grendel II" is actually one of the many chambers Bill A. experimented with until he settled on the Grendel chamber with the compound throat for best accuracy through a wide range of bullets.

The compound throat is a design solution that is unique to the Grendel. I maybe mistaking about it being unique, but at most it's rare. It has shown to be extremely effectiver. However, reamer makers sometimes hate it because it makes their jobs more difficult.
