My first Grendel - nice and light

[bcamp83]

So this is my first post here and this is my first Grendel build. I wanted a light weight, short, semi-auto rifle that I could swing around a deer blind or use on a stalk. I still want to refine the scope but she shoots. Just waiting to shoot more rounds through so I can get more brass before I start working up a load of 123 SSTs. I'll try some other pills too, but first things first.

Oops!, I forgot to put the weight down. I thought I had sub 7, but with optic and Dead Air NOX flash hider it is clocking in at 7 lbs 6.8 oz. I only have 50 rounds through it and with the ongoing situation, it's hard to get to a range to continue. Right now groups aren't great but I have been using Hornady Frontier FMJ and Wolf Military Classic. I have some Hornady ELD on the way and plan to load develop some Hornady SSTs soon. F-1 Weight.jpg
