This seems as good a place as any to drop this...
Finally got my Grendel to the range this morning. To recap, 18" BCA stainless barrel, AA bolt, Primary Arms 1-8 scope.
Test conditions were not ideal shooting from a folding table and the sun behind the target, but there was no wind. The lower has a 4.5lb POF "combat" trigger.
First I tried the Wolf steel case. Yes folks, a genuine 8" group. I can honestly say I've never seen a worse 100 yard group from any rifle I've ever shot. Even my crappiest AK with crappiest ammo shoots better. This barrel and this ammo don't get along. The only positive was that it was reliable for the 60 rounds I shot.
Next I tried Hornady Black ELD. The squares are 1/2". The group is a bit under 2". I called the upper right shot as a jerk but it isn't enough worse than the next shot to make much difference.
