    Hi, I'm a Caliberaholic...

    And I've joined the Horde...

    I'm in (AR rifle) 22LR, 5.56, 300BLK, 9MM, 10MM, 375 SOCOM, 458 SOCOM and now 6.5 Grendel!

    So, for me, the 6.5G is a Godsend for accuracy... I'm just getting the bigger calibers in tune, but out of the box with factory ammo the 6.5G shines... I'm tuning hand loads now focusing on the Nosler 129 GR ABLR...

    Anyway, looking forward to more Horde knowledge, it's been a real help so far...

    Greg, welcome to the forum. I think that in Montana the attributes of the Grendel will far outshine the other platforms.

      Nice collection. I appreciate your addiction. But wait....no .50 Beowulf??

      I've got a complete AA upper, 2 mags, dies, brass, and some AA loaded ammo I'll sell to enable your condition. ; )

            Welcome! Referring to my obsession with the Grendel and firearms in general as an addiction is a good word. I cant stop myself from buying more parts and building more rifles.

              Welcome aboard. What powder are you using with the 129gr ABLR?

              I use CFE with it and am going to do some testing with LVR as well.

                Thanks all!

                Based on all I've read here, I bought 1# each of CFE and LVR to start... I also have AR-Comp to test with...

                  you are still in the early throws of your addiction, once your really out of control you will buy a box of ammo that was a good deal for a gun you dont own but would like to (7.62x25mm) or reloading dies for guns you don't own because they were a good deal or on sale (450 nitro express, 270 REN) then there is the obsolete stuff, i mean can you even really have a problem until you have converted a antique rimfire rifle to centerfire and formed 50 rounds of ammunition for it on a whim (swiss vetterli, 41 swiss)

                  that said welcome to the sickness

                    Well spoken, and addresses my gun AADD... I can't say how many 300BLK cases I have ready to load, 3-4K? But it'll all be subsonic when I do load it...

                    As for anything else I load the 6.5G and 375/458 SOCOMs... I think I am sick enough for right now...

                      ahh 300 blackout i have been playing that game since before it was cool, my firs AR15 was a 300 whisper the ability to buy ready made blackout brass is fantastic its not even a hard case to form but its a pain in the but and way easier to just let someone else make it out of fired blank cases and buy it cheaper than i could get 556 brass
