Hi Folks, i've been following this form for a little while and thought its about time i introduced myself.
Im Ex Britidsh Army, 10 years service. I grew up on a farm in the UK. In the Army i was an Armourer (weapons repair specialist) I also qualified as a Master Gunsmith with civilian qualifications. I worked 3 years in Defence Contracting after leaving the Army, then i worked for the European Space Agency for 8 years before starting my own Gunsmith business. Currently own a factory with 14 staff producing mostly suppressors but also some accessories and rifles. Based in North West Germany.
I own 2x 6.5 Grendels, both self built AR15's and i just started hand loading for them (and for a 350 Legend), I hope to gain knowledge of others experience and tips on the reloading front.
We have to achieve 2000 Joules (1475.1 Ft Lbs) energy at 100m here with a caliber of 6.5mm or larger to legally use on wild boar and larger deer. so i'm looking to tickle that out of the Grendel with and 18" barrel if i can.
Anyhow, glad to have found this forum and found it very interesting and valuable so far.
Best Regards Pete
