I was in the process of a precision 5.56 build when I found out I won an aoudad hunt.
Now I'm changing directions.
I really like the 6.8 but I still really want a Grendel too!
It's going to be used mostly for pig and coyote thumping out to no more than probably 450 yards.
I know I've seen some people say to go with a true Grend over a .264LBC.
Problem is the Grendels aren't widely available whereas the .264s are.
The one I'm looking at has a*.297 neck 1.5 degree throat angle for better accuracy and to prevent splitting the case necks.**Barrel is a*SPR contour, mid gas,**6R button *rifling.
Why would this not be a viable option as opposed to a true SAAMI Grendel?
