you are correct in all your statements as well as those with Grendel chambers that have functioning issues as well because of improving or "fixin it to Death". The word If is a mighty big word for two letters. IF Vendors hold to spec in either chamber they all should run fine. As such this is not directed at you or anyone that has posted so far.
My comments are not a slam on Bill A, he chose to loosen the neck for reliabilty there is not a issue from me on that. Does Bill A produce a better Chamber? THAT DEPENDS on what the shooter needs are!! (yeah I know that is what you said just agreeing) MAJORORITY will be served well with the Grendel in MY OPINION
I just "Think" I would like the tighter chamber better as I prefer to punch paper is all, but without the LBC barrel in hand and experiance I cannot say for sure. What I can say is what Arne Brennen states on the chamber he uses---- a CSS LBC exculsively and the heaviest bullet is 107 grs pills without functioning issues. 90% on the shooting news that covers his events, calls the chamber a Grendel. Go Figure!
What I think is that both chambers serve a very good function (and have their place) and that neither deserves to be slammed but rather evaluated on their own merits.
Like the 5.56mm vs the .223 remington both are excellant chambers for their use.
P.S.
The gentleman in Houston also states the orginal neck Dia was .291" then to .295", then Bill chose the .300" again no slam in either way just information. Bill Waites should remember this in conversation with TX65 on beyond 556.
Oh yeah I know enough to know I don't know everything on the Calibers. If I did I would have done what LR1955 advised go to the 6mm AR Turbo on the old site before it went down.
Added the link to beyond 556 on 264LBC vs Grendel Chambers, not for arguments sake just FYI so some can make their own choices and not based on my opinion or conjecture.
