Hi All!
Joined to glean some knowledge for what will be my first 6.5 Grendel build in the near future. Have built several AR's in 5.56 and looking for something a little different and landed on using the Grendel for this project. Want to keep with a short action instead of stepping up to the AR-10 platform so I can keep using the lowers, etc, that I already have. Mainly looking to reach out and touch something with a little more hammer than the 5.56 at ranges of 200-400+yds. A critter killer for anything from coyote to hogs. Also enjoy spending time poking holes in paper and ringing steel to keep my skills honed.
A little more about me? Farmer from Iowa, grow soybeans, corn, beef cattle, and a few sheep. Been a bolt action dude from the start, but really quickly warming up to the AR platform over the past 5 years or so. REALLY like the versatility, and have been pleasantly surprised at the accuracy from a semi-auto.
Poking around looking for ideas on barrel length, barrel suppliers that have experience in the caliber, and what this round is capable of?
Enough for now, I'll hang up and listen......
