Bill Alexander Wrote:What we saw was the possibility for a light, low recoil hunting rifle. The context for us is really the lighter bullets in the 110 to 150 grain weight range. These are superb out to 200 yards and do not demand stupid hold overs. While lacking range over the Grendel it adds some cross section and as you get to +140 grains gives a capability that the Grendel cannot, without the brutal recoil of the Beowulf.
My congratulations goes out to RSilvers for steering this caliber through the early stages and hope that he can keep it on track without the usual 47,000 variations. Alexander Arms for one will will use the SAAMI specification.
God Bless you Bill for sticking with SAAMI...and my compliments to Mr. Silvers. I already have a 10.5" BLK which I really like (as do those who I have let shoot it)...now I will have to ponder a 16".
Bill, can you shed more details on the barrel?...cut rifled?
