You sing and I'll stomp my feet!
I spent a buttload of money on a custom .260 gasser and thought it was the ultimate Shite. Then I was shooting the MGM Ironman 3 gun match several years ago and was squadded with Neil Emory of Hornady. He shot before me on the stage that has a sniper rifle shoot for bonus targets. It is a really high pay off if you shoot and hit the bonus targets. Neil shot before me and I watched him shoot. He did really well and then got to the part where he shot the sniper rifle for bonus score(like 5 second per target hit off your match score. That is a a lot.) and he wore them out.
As he was coming back up range I noticed he had a regular AR15. I asked him what in the hell load in 5.56 he was shooting that allowed him to clean all the bonus targets(500-900yds) like he did. He said that it was Bennie Cooley's JP 6.5 Grendel and it was easy. I stood there with my mouth open.
Thus was the beginning of my 6.5 Grendel journey. Shortly there after I found a 20" AA on the boards here for sale(thank you to fellow Army Warrant Officer)I now have
three of them and my super high speed custom .260 just seems to sit in the safe.
I work in the gun/defense industry and shoot a lot of .308 and 5.56 for demos, but if you say "Lets's head to the range and shoot I'm going to grab a 6.5 Grendel every time. Shoots really hard and really easy.
I keep the other stuff for work demos but it just that work tools.
