20" Bear Creek Arsenal 6.5 Grendel Upper

[Hollis]

I built my own "cheap" ar using a bca 18" ss heavy 5r barrel, anderson upper and lower receivers, brownells bcg. I later installed a
3# velocity trigger. I can express how pleased i am with thi setup. It is moa at 100 yards with my handload of 28.5 grains rl15, hornady 123sst @ 2415fps or 30 grains cfe 223 @ 2420 fps. I use both loads in hornady 6.5 grendel or starline brass. I did not get these results right away while working up loads but when i found these 2 loads they were really close to moa. Wheni installed the velocity trigger everything came together. I am now attempting to get bca to make a 20" 30arx barrel but not having much luck.

Thanks for your input. I just use factory ammo (usually cheap steel ammo) and mil spec trigger and get very good results with my 7.62x39 upper - but consider hitting 10" steel target consistently at 375 yards "good results" while not measuring groups. I was hoping to get better accuracy while being able to go out to further distances with my AR with a Grendel upper. Still hoping to do that without having to hand load my ammo and buy new trigger. We will see.
