A completely new guy here used to 22lr, .17hmr, and a little .223.
I'm looking to try out Grendel and am trying to figure out what kind of affordable uppers one can find that provides good 'precision'. By affordable, I'll say under 700 bucks for example, maybe a bit more.
I'm considering factors like barrel length and fluted vs non-fluted. Where I know fluted removes metal and reduces stiffness. But what about barrel length for general groups from 100 yards to 500 for example? Have members noticed any difference in barrel length? Does it matter than much or does everyone just go long for velocity?
Basically I'm looking to print small groups and this cartridge looks interesting, especially if a person moves outdoors. As in if I got say 20" nonfluted, would a person expect to shoot say 0.5 MOA or be all over the map where 16" would be superior?
sorry for the newb question, but after googlind and youtubing today. I found the general deal is a heavy short barrel gives you the biggest leeway regarding barrel harmonics, nodes, etc regarding the muzzle oscillation.
