Been a member here a short time mow and reading everything that's coming across here. Lots of good info and I have learned a lot. Just to follow up with a few questions and see if I have this right. My goal is a rifle that I can use from right in front of the blind to out to 400 -500 yards across a bean field. Primary game species are whitetail deer and feral hogs.
1, I need to bed the barrel extension to the reciever. Will purple threadlocker be acceptable. Should give me the option of easier barrel removal if it becomes necessary.
2, I chose a 20" barrel from AR Stoner. 1:8 twist 5R rifling. I know it's a rack grade barrel. Hoping for better than 1 MOA. What are my chances, any tricks?
3, uses a standard 30 caliber muzzle device. I like the looks of the Predator style. Would I be better served by a linear compensator? How about just a thread protector?
4, the AR Stoner barrel is a Grendel chamber that requires a .136 bolt for proper headspacing. I purchased an AR Stoner bolt carrier group to go with the barrel. The description of the bolt does not specify measurements, but the bolt is marked Grendel II. Am I ok?
5, I have a bunch of 7.62x39 brass. All large primer. Headstamps are F C, PMC, Winchester, PPU, Fiocchi, Remington. In that order. Any issues with reforming this brass?
6, I think for my purposes I will use 8208 powder and Sierra 107 grain Match Kings. Any issues with this combination? How about the SMK as a hunting bullet? I use a lot of Sierra bullets, but never used the Match King, usually use the Game King and Varmiter bullets in my rifles.
7, I like RCBS dies. Any reason I can not use the .265 LBC dies for my 6.5 Grendel?
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to your responses.
