Hello from Mn - NDSwede - 01-20-2022
New member here. I live in MN now, but grew up in ND. I'm really enjoying this forum. I'm a reloaded so really appreciate all the good info on the subject of bullets, powders and favorite loads. I'm pretty careful with money and love to tinker so enjoy the discussions about BCA barrels and how to get them to shoot well.
Anyway, greetings to all and glad to be here.

Is there a way to send a private message to another member? If so, could someone explain it to me?

Click on their name (say to the left of one of their posts) and select Private Message. That's one way.
And welcome to the site from another (native) Minnesotan.

I'm down in South Mpls. I like to drive up to Beaverbrook gunclub north of the cities. Do you have any place to shoot long range?

I have a membership there! It's about 20 minutes N.E. of me up 65 in East Bethel. How long have you been driving up to that range?

How long have you been driving up to that range?I started a couple years ago in the winter with the Mpls muzzleloader club. I usually get up there a few times each summer. I'm not a member but may join this year if there's an opening. I just retired last spring.

Just getting putting together my first Grendel. Piecing together the lower with mostly Arero precision parts. Planning on getting a BCA 20" upper. Just getting into longer range shooting. I've got a friend with a farm where I can shoot out to 600 yards. I reload so hoping to find a load that will shoot moa. Looking forward to getting started.

Just my experience but I would highly recommend some other barrel manufacturer than BCA. To put it another way, you couldnt PAY me to take another BCA barrel chambered in 6.5 Grendel. I couldve bought a Bart for what I put down that BCA...

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I even scored on some Grendel brass yesterday at the lgs. If you're in the Mpls, MN area Gunstop Reloading had some Hornady brass yesterday. They said it was going fast.
