Well I was able to squeeze in some test loads today and ended up at 30.0 grs CFE under a 75 eld-m. 20” ARP Barrel, 3r rifling, rifle length gas. Test mule lower is off my bartlein barreled grendel with JARD trigger at 2.5 lbs. Side charge stoner upper and a trinity force handguard from midsouth shooters supply. Bolt is a .136 depth from the group buy. Leupold Mark II IMS mount with a vortex PST gen II 3-15 x44 EBR-2 reticle.
Accuracy was 3/4 -1 moa. Should have been better but whoever assembled upper didn’t tighten nuts on scope base!! SMH. Getting in a hurry does that. Anyway, I will shoot more one evening this week. Accuracy started off with 4 touching and a flyer after initial sight in. Flyer was fifth shot. Groups after that opened up, when scope came loose. Tightened down but the bottom fell out so I loaded up and didn’t get pics of groups. Had to go to a local range and range was hot so wasn’t waiting.
Oh yeah, velocity was 3108, sd of 8.3. It’s gonna shoot, just have to get back out this week. Itching to try at long range. Shooter app has it super out to 1250 with 40.3 moa comeup at 1250. Really happy so far. No pressure on brass and recoil like a .223 +p. I really want this in a howa mini. You listening Matt? Lol.
More to come later in week.
