I took the BCA 6.5 Grendel to the range today and shot these 5 shot groups at 100 yards.
Top 3 targets were 123 ELD's 28.5 grains of A2520 CCI 450's COL 2.25...
Bottom targets were Barnes 120 Match Burners 26.5 grains of Benchmark CCI 450's...

Congratulations! That is a fantastic shooter. I had to pay $500 (after multiple cheaper attempts) for a barrel that can do close to that.

Thanks I'm very happy with this upper...
I really wasn't expecting this kind of accuracy out of it...

That is outstanding. I picked up some A2520 and have developed a nice shooting 77gr SMK load for the 5.56. Based on your results I'll have to try it in the Grendel.

Now that you got a good load, what are you going to do with it? Competitive stuff? Hunting?

No I just enjoy shooting... I've been pig hunting many times and most were taken with my .270 all were shot at 100 to 200 yards...
