New Grendel build soon
#1
Not new to shooting or ARs, just Grendel. I do prairie dogs, IHMSA, trap, deer , pheasants, Hunter Benchrest and have owned and loaded for a bunch of wildcats. I was big into the T/C wildcats, both long and shorter barrels. Kinda sux the time I decide to build something you can’t get anything for it.

Welcome to the clan, vm, from the great nation of Texas. As stated above, Grendel parts are returning to vendor stock. Not yet in great quantities but they can be had. If reloadability is a big plus, be sure to pick up copies of Vol 1 and 2 of the Grendel Handbook.

Lapua brass
20" barrel, prefer Lilja, Bart, or Kreiger
120 Speer

Lapua brass is going to be difficult to find. There was a press release a couple months ago Lapua was suspending production on several cartridges because of supply issues. Starline brass goes up for back order every few months on Starline’s web site. If you place a back order it usually ships within a couple weeks.

Midsouth Shooters Supply and Graf’s are good retailers to watch for 120 grain Speer Gold Dots.

Here is a thread discussing Lapua pause in production of certain brass.

Unless you just have to have the 120 gr Speer, the 123 gr Hornady works fine for deer and big hogs. And I was able to get some Nosler 120 gr Ballistic Tips recently. What I really want for this caliber is the 100 gr Nosler BT, but that’s just a dream so far.
