I live about thirty minutes away and would love to see how they are doing with it!
Grendel all the way!

Velocities are way, way, too slow to give an edge in the Match Rifle category.
I am not competitive in High Power anymore but did shoot my Grendel a couple weeks ago in a 800 agg match. Shot just fine at 200 and 300 and had huge problems at 600 due to very difficult wind conditions. 123 Lapua at about 2500 fps is what I can get out of it safely from my Match Rifle gas gun. Reminded me of the days shooting M-14's with the old 168 grain Match loads. Constantly cranking windage every time you saw even the slightest change in mirage or wind flags. And constantly losing points I wouldn't have lost shooting a 6 AR.
