As aforementioned, my range runs out to 600 and that was the intent of this build. I was however under the assumption, based on research, that a longer distance day here and there was a possibility.
Knowing 1200 is basically the transonic range for the cartridge, I am educated enough to know that this is not a realistic goal. Every cartridge has limitations, as well as the platform, which happens to be the AR.
I do however feel that using a ring set that is canted in such a way, as to keep my scope operating within a comfortable adjustment level, will make my chances of operating in the 600-1000 range, substantially better. The Vortex PST line of scopes only has 20 MRAD of elevation adjustment.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
The Grendel really starts running out of gas past 600 yards. I was easily shooting steel IPSC heads at 700 yesterday but there was no wind and unless I could see the hit (I could) the report was inconsistent at best. Just my opinion but the Grendel owns the 100yd to 300yd (danger close) but if you need some horsepower or plan to shoot further than 600yd, bring something bigger.
