7.62 Grendel? - se3388 - 03-20-2015
Looks just like the 7.62 x 39 my buddy in Hawaii was shooting about 1996 when I lived over there. I shot it quite a bit and it was quite accurate. He took a bunch of Axis deer with it. I always thought about turning a 7.62 x 39 barrel into one but never got around to it.

The Grendel comes from the PPC line of cases, which in turn, were derived from the 220 Russian. Both are ultimately based on the 7.62x39.
The transformation from the 220 to PPC to Grandel adds about three grains pf case capacity.
