My 1st attempt at an ar15 Grrr build .

[6.5 Grendel Fever]

Update, did shoot the 120gr N BT and were ok .Did some more load work with the h123eldm`s and was able to get over 2400 for vel. More like 2440.WITH 27.5g of bm Plus my shooting partner thinks his chrony is off by 50 or so ??? Anyway, the rounds I shot today were all at 200yds ,zerod scope and shot 10 rounds into a 2" shoot n see target .I think I found something to take a closer look at . Now for the other bullet I was hoping would shoot well out of this GB 20" . It is Hornady 100g eldm and guys this thing shot (2) 1/2" groups @ again 200 yards. I was very pleased to say the least. 5 other groups ranged from 1" - 2 1/2" . Still not bad ... The 7 groups I shot today were 28.2 ,28.4 ,28.6 ,28.8 ,and 29.0. 28.4 and 29.0 were the (2) 1/2" groups.
max is 29.4 and is HOT. More to come in the near future weather permitting.
Anyone try these 100g eldm bullets ?

One final note at this point in time. These/this GB 20" barrel shoots and likes everything I feed it so far. I believe my search is done for now
The h123 eldm will be a real good target round and the h100gr eldm will be a place to start for my `yote round .
Have a great Memorial Day everyone !

Went out this morning before the rain came. Shot a total of 30 shots using the 3 loads from last week that looked promising. 28.2 , 28.4 , and 29.0 gr of benchmark and Hornady 100eldm`s were shot.As another member here says ,,,he posts the Good days and the Not so Good days @ the range My groups all opened up to 2.50" - 2.75" . At 200 yards Temp was a bit warmer out , but not to extreme. I believe it was me not the gun or loads. I sit here typing this and can say I was never comfortable behind the scope today shooting prone.That doesnt happen often.I mixed up my rear bag/s to a different style.Maybe my setup was off ? anyway, always a good day to be at the range with friends .
More to come .
