AR-Stoner 6.5 Grendel barrel short chambered.

[XcountryRider]

Because the chamber is almost certainly NOT cut to the SAAMI specification.

It is time to recognize that literally thousands of Grendel chambered rifles have been shipped and likely millions of rounds of Hornady, Lapua, and AA ammunition have been fired.

It is only in the last few weeks that we have seen a discussion of problems with chamber throats being too short. Why is that? We can speculate, but the history suggests that factory ammunition is not the culprit. What has changed is that a batch of barrels, and the reamers that made them, appear to have been cut with short throats.

We can reasonably expect that Steve Satern is competent enough to track down the root cause of the current problem and correct it.

Remember that the cartridge is not a wildcat, and the design is established.

These persistent and, I submit, irrelevant and baseless complaints about the Grendel chamber in the face of the history of the cartridge makes one wonder about motivation.

Not true a shorter throat was identified on this forum back in 2011. Which brings us back to the hysteria.
