6mm Grendel Group Design Project

wps files (from Microsoft Works if I recall) should be openable in MS Word. The formatting (font, size, bold, etc) won't be usable but you can still retrieve the raw text from it.... then maybe we can find someone to help in re-formatting it for ya.

I'd be willing to try to open it/recover text for you if you want, don't know if I can volunteer to re-format the whole thing or not, just being honest here.
But I'll bet the text could be recovered. Let me know.

You can translate the file, I'm no IT nerd but I know it can be done. Google is a capable wench for these purposes especially. If it can't be directly done, someone out there can take your discs, and get the data for you. I have a guy if you find an itch that you cannot scratch, and it won't go away; let me know.

Thanks, guys. You are too kind. I don't have MS Word on this computer, so I tried opening the wps files with Wordpad.

The result was as you said, grayfox: Unusable for anything but the raw text. I'd have to completely retype everything.

Open office is a free program that might open it. I know it gives you a ton of file types to save as....

Time to get rolling! Starline Untapered Grendel Basic Brass!

It looks like the length is 39.37mm and they state the brass will get longer on forming, maybe to the magic 40.4mm.
A partial size to 6.5mm in a Grendel die may be just the ticket with a final sizing to 6mm with a 6mm PPC die or with the proper bushings to 6mm.
Can't a reamer then be ordered based on the formed case?

Is anyone working on a 6mm Grendel? What would be best' a plain neck down or a Fat Rat improved case ? Does any one make custom drop ins for RAP?

[BluntForceTrauma]

For maximum flexibility (better to have case capacity and not need it than to need it and not have it) I'd recommend 6mmAR Turbothink is analogous to a Fat Rat Improved.

What about the 40 degree Fat Rat ?

[StoneHendge]

Well ain't she slim and purty. 105 gr 6mm RDF with a G7 of .280 in the center. Makes the 123 Scenar on the left and 123 SMK on the right look porky.

Any news on this project?

[hill37]

There is some talk in the group buy section but no consensus on what to order.
