Did you bed your barrels by chance? Also, Im a bit confused about how many Grendels and which one has the Wilson barrel.
Howdy Paul,
My buddy and I built Grendels on Aero Precision enhanced uppers. The barrel fit was perfect. Barrel nut was loosened and tightened 3x and torqued to spec. He has a 16" Faxon Gunner barrel and I opted for a 16" SS Wilson Combat. Both guns shot the Hornady 123 ELDM poorly, 1.5"-2" groups at 100 yards. I shot 60 rounds of Hornady and he shot 40, over 2 range days.
Druid Hill's Hornady 123 shot sub MOA in both guns.
Not sure if the barrels needed to be broken-in, or bad batches of Hornady factory from 3 different sources, or if there is an anomaly with 16" barrels or Druid Hill Armory is just magic?
I'm not a new builder, just 6 months ago I put together a .223 Wylde barrel (from AR Performance) on an Aero Precision enhanced upper, shoots sub MOA. It wears a LaRue 2 stage trigger, Zeiss Conquest 3.5x10 on a LaRue C.A.N. QD mount.
Any insight you can offer would be appreciated.
