Curious what folks opinions are on my Grendel bullet drop behavior now that I have it working suppressed. I just installed a Bootleg adjustable carrier yesterday which made my Grendel a suppressed sewing machine.
I have a 20" barrel with a rifle length gas tube. I have a sneaky feeling the barrel gas port size was contributing to the overgassed issue (meaning it might be slightly bigger than it needs to be ... I think my are lengths somewhat match for a 20" barrel with what's indicated here, http://gunhub.com/ar15/50981-gas-port-hole-size.html, by TaylorWSO).
Unsuppressed the casings flew out at about 1 to 1:30 or so.
Suppressed they flew out at about 12:15 - right along the barrel ... WAAAYYY overgassed.
My suppressor is an AAC 762-SDN-6.
The rounds I'm using are Hornday 123gr SSTs (https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/r...-123-gr-sst#!/)
With the Bootleg carrier on "S" (suppressed setting), the casing are flying out at about 2:30-3:00. Perfect ... no misfeeds, no stove pipes.
What I'm hoping is opinions on the apparent bullet drop. My scope center is at 2.75" above bore center. At 100 yards, my scope was adjusted 13 clicks (or so) Up to get back on center. So that's 3.25 inches (or so) of drop .. wow. My 300 black suppressed drops 2" if I recall correctly (16" barrel).
Is that 3.25" drop normal or expected ? Seems rather like ... a lot.
Second question, does this mean my bullets have slowed down ... it would seem to mean that ?
