Grendel on the Cheap

[Valjean]

I currently have about $905 in my Grendel and reloading equipment

PSA 18" SS barrel Upper $350
PSA Lower Build $150
Vortex Crossfire 4-12x40 AO scope $189
Magazine $15.99

I am using a Lee Precision 50th anniversary press with Hornady Dies $200


The following are range results from different loads using this budget set-up. This is to give others an idea of what they can expect from a budget build. Targets were at 100m for each of the tests
