The Brownell's 6.5 Grendel and bolt I saw looked very good. I can't wait till it's assembled and test fired, I think it will be a shooter. I had 3 different lots of factory 123 AMAX, Black Hills Les Baer 123 grain SMK and Wolf 123 grain MPT. I was able to easily insert each round into the chamber and turn the bolt with my fingers to insert and remove.
I also used a Stoney point chamber gauge to get the length for several bullets. The bolt face was .136 and the threads appear to 5/8-24. If I didn't already have a 16" and 20" 6.5 Grendels I'd buy the Brownell's 6.5 Grendel barrel/bolt.
