    Welcome aboard.

    I also have a .260 Rem in the large frame gas gun platform, built by GA Precision...a laser.

    Haven't shot it in years now since Grendel takes up so much of my rifle range time.

    It's a combination of the big heavy case I have for the .260 Rem, lack of affordable factory ammo (that has changed with one new load from Hornady), and that the rifle is so heavy.

    I need to get it back together sometime I guess.

    Anyway, don't be surprised when 6.5 Grendel takes up a lot of your future range time. Very fun little cartridge to shoot that hits way out of its weight class, with very low recoil.

        Both of my Grandson's want my Grendels. It is an incredible solution - great for hunting, targets at all ranges and just plain fun! So, I guess that there will have to be a couple more Grendels in the world's populations. Welcome! The Grendel is definitly the answer - we just need to figure out what all the questions are!

            Welcome to the forum. I laughed out loud (literally) when I read your comment about flood the forum with stupid questions. We've all been there at one point or another and heck I'm still there!

              welcome to the forum kfbrown14. I think once you start shooting the 6.5 Grendel, the others will be very familiar with the safe, at least that is what has happened to a number of us, sorta like LRRPF52.
