Just bought a grendel off gun broker. I am a reloader with my bolt rifles. Do you guys full length resize for your gas guns? What are your pet loads with the 123 gr Amax? Mine has a 20in barrel. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Newbie to Grendel

bwaites..... What length do you set them to? This is my first reloading experience with a semi auto, do you always full length resize? I only neck size with my bolt guns. Although I know they are different animals. Like I said, this is my first trip reloading with a semi.

AR's demand full length resizing for consistent function, once in a while someone will try neck sizing and get away with it, but its not worth the hassle if it doesn't work! Most of the top F Class guys have switched to full length resizing for their bolt guns, too. About the only guys still only neck sizing, I think, are the BR guys, but I'm not really into that group. I full length resize for consistency.
I run my Amaxs at 2.25, essentially mag length. The bullet is fairly forgiving of jump.

Welcome Tim, I too had always been a bolt guy, but now I'm hooked on the Grendel. Built my first AR/Grendel last year and now in the process of re-building. Upgrading to a longer barrel and lighter handguard, plus better glass and mounts. Ah the devils work is never done. Enjoy!
