Great looking rifle, bet she shoots as good or better than she looks.

Here's the first video. Now need to settle on a load, verify the longrange trajectory and go hunting.

Dude, that is awesome. You are very mild pressure-wise with that load. 769.5 m/s = 2524fps
You will be able to get at least 2650 if not 2670fps and still not be near higher pressures. Just watching that from a bolt gun set up the way yours is makes me want the ones I have planned even more. Notice how there is almost no recoil and you can watch your hits without much effort?

Very, very, VERY nice Roe! I love that rifle. I like your bipod setup too.
Originally posted by Roe View PostNo, my neighbourhood is not that hostile. It's in the safe, but I have visited... often. We talk about deer to shoot, targets to hit - the usual guy banter...
Working on a video right now...

Yes. I'm really looking forward to the Neopod adapter.
Here's another film for the Grendel rifle. It is just silly accurate.
Something is off on the trajectory calculations, the V0 is definitively not 680 msec - just a weakness in how the AB deals with ballistic truing?

Fantastic videos! Great job. Country side almost reminds me of my home country of Ireland with all that sea weed! Think your Winter's are a bit milder though!
I can only hope when the Howa is released in 6.5 Grendel, that it shoots half as well as yours.

You were stacking the rounds on each other at 484m/528yds like it was easy. I don't think that group is much bigger than 3-4cm. It's like 1/5 to 1/4 MOA.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

I've had some trouble with my Sako build, but hopefully on track again now.
The rifle was returned to have a 35 MOA cant machined into the picatinny rail and I also specified ( or rather insisted) that the rail should be bedded and glued in addition to screwed to the action. I doubt it will move now.
I also adjusted the trigger to be a little harder, for some reason I find this rifle more difficult to shoot with a light trigger than I do with my Blaser rifle. Precision in this rifle continues to surprise me, the Lilja barrel just shoots very, very well. Still some trace of buildup in the silencer, so I will try an IMR powder next and see what that will do. Plan to hunt with the rifle again in March.

Roe you should show your reticle that you designed. I find it very interesting and will continue to follow your videos on it.
AM12.5" SBR Grendel - Need Barrel
Surge - Rugged Suppressor
Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.
Aim small, miss small!
