    Virginia - RVA Grendelizer | 1000 yard certified

    What a fantastic round! This spring I took the rifle out to BangSteel in Wytheville VA, that was so much fun!

    I ran out of MOA in my scope with the way the MOA base was mounted, but I was able to tag the 1000 and 1100 targets a few times.

    I was all over the 900 yard plate. With my last 4 shots, 4 for 4 at that range. 31 MOA for me! Out of the box factory Hornady Amax and SST ammo--shot the same.

    After the class, I was inspired to make a window sticker for my pickup :-) 6.5 Grendel All the way!

    Looking forward to hunting season and getting a distance shot.

    Welcome aboard, great picture. I'm using a 20 MOA Aadmount on my 20" Shilen with Vortex Viper scope. This combo gives me enough elevation on my scope to make it to 1000 yards with my hand loads.

        Been a fan of the Grendel from the very beginning and haven't second guessed that choice one time.

          Welcome aboard. Get a 20 MOA 1-piece AR15 mount and don't look back. Nice range report for a first post. Does that tower have a sign on it in big letters?

                I also found the factory 123 gn AMax Hornady match… too good to be true! Can barely match it with hand loads. JP barrel and bolt.
