Quote:18" Ballistic Advantage barrel with a rifle length gas system and an SLR adjustable gas block.

What ammunition?

You shouldn't need to choke off an 18" RLGS in 6.5 Grendel, as there isn't much plug dwell with the larger bore volume of a 6.5mm.

With that set-up, you generally need all the gas you can get, especially when shooting lighter weight projectiles and factory loads with anything 100gr or less.

I would start with the gas fully open and also make sure you have a tight gas seal with the gas block to the barrel journal, which most DIY builds do not have.
