Hey everybody, I wanted to see what people think about this.
The barrel is a 6.5 Grendel SAAMI Spec chamber PROOF Research 20" steel barrel.
Bedded with green loctite. Running a Dead Air Nomad Silencer. Superlative arms adjustable gas block that is adjusted 6 clicks away from closed (no gas) and will cycle but not lock the bolt back without the can. These are my desired gas settings because it's not too gassy.
Groups are 0. 5 to 1.5 moa 5 shot groups with factory and handloads.Not too worried there. 2 to 3 moa with wolf 100gr factory ammo. Again no surprises.
Velocities were recorded with a ProChrono DLX about 2.5 yards from muzzle.Velocities were after break in, cleaning, and approximately 100 to 150 rounds down the pipe total. Elevation was about 1k feet. Temp 50 degrees F.
Velocities:
123gr Hornady Black ELD - velocity 2401 sd 8 for 16 shots.
123gr Hornady SST - velocity avg. 2421 sd 36 for 23 shots
Wolf 100gr - velocity avg. 2565 sd 13 for 5 shots
Seems like a slower barrel ~ 50 fps slow compared to others I've seen on this forum.
Thanks!
