Grendel II chamber

[rickOshay]

So it sounds like the GII is no worse or better than the Grendel chamber, and similar to LBC. So why all the uproar? If it was "I bought a barrel expecting X chamber and received Y" I get that.

Other than that, i dont see the issue. Am I missing something?

It will be interesting to see if the GeeToo will meet the accuracy of the LBC - given the difference in neck diameter.

My understanding is that one of the reasons the LBC is accurate is because of the tighter neck (@ 0.295) versus the SAAMI 6.5 Grendel (@0.300). The GeeToo has BOTH the wider neck and the parallel lead. So centering the bullet on the bore will be challenging. Again, my understanding is that you would need a high quality barrel to make up for mis-aligned bullets in the chamber. Not going to get that for $200.

Again - it will be interesting to see range reports once people finally get them and shoot them. So far, there's been a great deal of "keyboard claims".

Likely it will be a decent shooter and let people seat long projectiles further out as claimed. And they will likely get another 50 fps higher velocity - see my Post #23 of this thread.

But lesson learned is that if you want a 6.5 Grendel - check with the barrel supplier to confirm that it's SAAMI spec, including the throat. If you want something else, specify that too. People thought they were ordering a SAAMI Grendel, and got something else instead.
