I joined the forum a couple of years ago, but I haven't been active, I spend most of my time with M14's and AR 308's more than anything.
I first got involved with the Grendel, when I bought a Mini Howa. That little rifle would really shoot, with the Hornady black box 123 ELD's! One of my brothers talked me out of it, and his kids and grand kids have killed a few whitetail deer with it, all one shot kills!
I eventually bought an AR15 upper in 6.5 Grendel, but my shooting buddy talked me out of it, he's very pleased with it! He has shot it quite a bit up to 400 on steel targets, seems to perform good enough with Wolf. We shoot mainly slinged up, we're Appleseeders as well as ol' High Power shooters, hence the sling. That 6.5 rings that steel rather well, a whole lot better than 5.56, that's for sure!
The reason for this post? I was taking inventory of my ammunition, what did I see? A case of 100 grain Wolf and 200 rounds of Hornady 123 ELD's, but no 6.5 Grendel rifle to shoot it! I just happened to have got a flyer from BCA, 20 inch complete upper, $223.00 and change, so I bought it. Probably be here in a couple of weeks. With Wolf, if it will shoot 2.5 MOA and 1-1.5 MOA with the Hornady, I'll be pleased. Actually, I won't get too much heartburn if it's even a little less accurate than what I stated, just as long as it will have some semblance of a group and function correctly. I have a couple of BCA blasters in 5.56, they work, wouldn't take them to a match, though.
This is an excellent forum, thanks for allowing me to be a member here.
