Put it in the Berger twist calculator and the 1x10 gave me an SG of 2.1 while the 1x9 gave me a 2.6. All that’s needed is 1.5. Spinning thin jacketed Varmint bullets too fast can spin the jacket off or alter them enough to affect accuracy at range, so I went with 1x10. Longer, heavier 6mm bullets will get fed to the 26” 6mm Grrrr upper that will share the lower.
I wanted to get 1x8 but there were none left in the sub $100 barrels. Probably what I bought will be good. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses to my question on email notification. Please don't take this wrong but I'm glad it's not only me.
I just couldn't pass up the deals, I'm getting two barrels for less than I paid for my last one. I ordered a 12.5" 264LBC 1-8 standard profile for a pistol build and a 16" 264LBC 1-8 LT/C for a light weight carbine build. My 20" 264LBC is the most accurate rifle I've ever shot.
I'm trying to decide on the uppers. I have several New Frontier Side Charging Uppers on 300 BO's and really like them but can buy four Aero Uppers for the same money as one of the New Frontier. Decisions, decisions, lol.

SH, I just found this about barrel twist rate. I should be GTG at 100 yards.

JB, I just bought blemished BCA uppers from Delta TeamTactical for $34/ea. They are forged and mil spec.
I bought an extra upper for when the group buy 6mm AR Turbo barrel becomes available.

Schuyler Arms,
http://www.schuylerarmsco.com/ is having a Winter sale. All VG6 muzzle brakes $40. Aero M4E1 Cerakote FDE lower for $85 and Upper / Lower set for $150.
Grayfox - Thanks for the info on the Norma Brass. I have some 223 Norma brass and I'm pretty impressed with the quality. I haven't seen any reviews on the 6.5 Grendel Norma brass. Has anyone tried it? I'm assuming it's similar to Lapua as to quality and number of reloads and at $75/100 quite a bit less expensive than Lapua.

It’s rumored Nosler 6.5 Grendel brass is rebranded Norma 6.5 Grendel brass. Might help if you search for reports on Nosler 6.5 Grendel brass since it’s been on the US market a little longer.

Nosler doesn’t make their own brass so it would be the other way around.
Bj, altitude has a pretty big effect on required twist, so 1x9 is perfect in your parts. What I’m expecting to run at 5k ASL through a 1x10 gives me the same SG as 1x9 at sea level.
Let's go Brandon!

No need to worry about rust.
Yeah i have one of their match barrels in 223 wylde and im pretty sure it rusted. Can't be 100% sure. Id need a bore cam. But its near the muzzle and crown area. 416 is one of the least rust resistant stainless alloys out there.
17-4 is better in almost every way. Better rust resistance (i believe its food grade as well as some 300 series) and better stability in the cold.
Walther makes 17-4 barrels as well as polymer80 just released their new barrels which are also made out of 17-4 same as their slides.
Anyone else having trouble saving money lately?

Frankford arsenal wet tumbler is still on sale @ jeff bezos monopoly for $120 (dont judge me) we might have to use his own products against him one day and i want to save for as much "mud slinging" ammo as possible. I wish midway and brownells had a algorithm that would undercut any product they sell automatically by a small margin.
We as a gun industry need to pledge to not fund those a holes (i know Hippocratic huh) and cut them off at the hip just like they are trying to do to us. Now to go drown my regrets...
P.s. I've spent thousands at midway brownells and PA lately. Its been a MERRY Christmas so i dont feel that bad. Still trying to finish my six 6.5's and also my 10mm/40super and now a glock 17 in the mix. those faxon neo chromatic barrels are seriously to georgous to use.
I apologize for ranting in the deals thread. If you've noticed i cant help it. ;(

Suppressed larue grendel for 1600.
I wish I had the funds. Would love to have this upper. Would even consider it in the Valkyrie since I already be. Larue rifle in Grendel and in 556.
In the Army Doc is earned not given. Though privates and specialists do get a kick out of calling a senior NCO Doc and not Sergeant. But a quick correction and putting them at parade rest always reminds them of that folly!
