Brownells carries Faxon barrels...but not any 12.5"...as for your list, anyone, who turns AR barrels, will turn what you want...that does make it the right choice.
"That fourm is for dicussing LONG RANGE not something most would consider a short barreled grendel for doing."
But yet I read on here of 12.5" Grendel being "stupid easy to.make hits on steel at 800 yards"...it's not "stupid easy" to make with a 26" barreled magnum. That is unless your shooting at something the size of an elephant.
I ran some numbers after your last post, just out of curiosity to see the MV of a 12.5"....1,080fps...I can almost throw a snowball at that speed! J/K
But it is getting almost to the speed it moving more vertical than horizontal...ALMOST!
All that said Im not saying a 24" barrel is going to do wondrous things at that distance either, but if I'm going to shoot that far, it will be with something I stand the best chance to do it with!
Would you like me too start tearing all this drivel apart or would you like too move one too discussions that better suit your intrest?
Well to heck with it I'm going roo tear it apart anyways.
First of all the 800 yard thing is from one member and he probably has more experience shooting what every calls long range then the next 100 people.
If he thinks it's stupid easy it's probably because he is a much better marksman then you are I. Would I shoot 800 yards with my 12 inch grendel? Yes when conditions are perfect I would play with it at 800. Even more so now after hitting at 975 with my 16 inch grendel. Oh and this is a basically sea level since I live roughly 3 hours northeast of you.
The muzzle velocity you posted is cooked data for a very heavy bullet. I will tell you right now I get average 2278 fps with hornady black and 2307 average with my scenar handloads in my xcaliber 12 inch barrel.
The brownells not selling any 12 inch barrel thing. Who cares they don't even sell grendel barrels they sell grendel II not a sammi grendel. But yet you refuse too see that I blow your "nobody makes them statement" out the water already with the list I gave you.
It simple and yet you just can't seem too grasp the idea and concept so let me spell it out for you one more time in the hope the at you will use your reason and learn something.
You don't find it worthwhile, you don't want it, you don't think it should be avalible. Great you stated your point yet again. Now you can move on too things that matter too you.
But too cook velocity data and keep stating that a short barreled grendel doesn't work and has no merit in every short barrel thread well. That's very trolling of you and very spc fanboy of you as well.
So before I end this let me clarify something. I have no personal problems with you and am willing too discuss whatever with you on any thread. But I'm not willing to sit here and let you post false data and continue too post the same old drivel you keep posting in such threads.
So anytime you post too a short barreled grendel thread and try too insert your belive that a grendel cannot or does not work from a short barrel. I'm going too be there too correct you and put facts straight to members that you are trying to convince of those glass statements.
