< 1/2 MOA 6.5 Grendel Barrel?

[A5BLASTER]

I know this is a 6.5 Grendel site, I was considering building one.

But I got into the 6mmARC instead. Doing a lot of homework and weighing the differences is why I went this route.

It just made since, better accuracy, longer range, and longer barrel life. They say the life expectancy of one of these matches that of .223.

Now for the downfall of it, right now you can't hardly buy any thing gun related. I was fortunate and jumped on board right before this pandimic.

I am set on one having 3 rifles, having reloading supplies to last me for God who knows how long.

I have an Odin Works HBAR barrel that shoots .5 MOA without even trying very hard. It is just remarkable how well this round shoots, and not really effected by wind drift, and the bullet drop is very predictable.

I was at the range the other day and these two gentlemen were simply amazed that I could hit an 8" steel plate repeatedly with no misses @ 600 yards. With no doubt an AR15. Then I moved over to the 200 yard plate and took 5 shots in under 10 seconds and hit every one of them. That old man said thats some shooting son. I told him that I was taking my time, the scope never left the target. He said he could never do that with his Grendel.

In all honesty, there isn't enough difference between the 2 at 600 are less to worrie much about.

As far as barrel life goes, as long as your handloads dont go over pressure the 6mm version will have less throat life them the 6.5mm .

I read that post on 6mmarc fourm. That was some fine shooting for sure. But honestly if you would have been shooting against someone who had their rifle and load dialed in and had some skill at that range. The results would have been different.

And your arc is not more accurate because it shoots a 6mm bullet and not a 6.5mm bullet. Barrel quiality, load quality, scope/mount quality, trigger, postion, overall rifle build quality and shooter skill has more to do with that then bullet diameter.
