I could live with those groups at 200 yards. I bet that Ruger 6.5 Grendel is a sweet shooter!

That's factory ammo. I have high expectations with some load development

Looks good TOTT. I shot my 700 Grendel yesterday and factory ammo was better than the 100 gr noslers I shot. I loaded up some 123 amax last night and will shoot Friday. I'm using poster board so I can keep up with all groups shot and add to my thread. That's a nice looking (and shooting) rifle you have. Once we compile some bolt gun data we should start a thread including chamber type, coal of different pills to lands, and normal load/chrono data as well. Just a thought. Give some other guys an idea of any differences in data for bolt vs auto loader.

That is an absolutely incredible rifle! I have a R77 in 6mm that I have long been considering doing something similar. What was your build list for this?
