I just got this 6.5 Grendel carbine put together and took it out for some Central WA groundhog action. I was shooting factory Hornady 123gr A-Max's. Which are increadably accurate out of my 17" SS, AA barrel. It was easy to stay on hits with the JP adjustable gas block and Enidine buffer.
Today was the first time I have shot the Hornady factory 123's, I just wanted to see how it would shoot the factory stuff, seeing I have only shot handloads in my Grendel's. Bellow are a few picks of groups I shot this morning with the factory 123gr A-Max. All theses groups were shot using my pack in the above picture as the rest, so im sure if I was at the bench with a rest or off of my bipod it would improve some.
Both the 300 yard groups measured 1-7/8" with a tape, no mic with me. The 100 yard group went just under 1/2" Not bad for factory stuff @ 20.00 a box. It costs just about that for my empty AA brass per 20. My rifle doesn't care for the AA brass but it loves my handloads in Hornady and .264 LBC brass.
I can't wait to put together my Satern 28" upper and try the Hornady 123's! The barrel on the above carbine was a 18" that was turned down to lighten it up and threaded 5/8-24 for a suppressor.
