Wandering the wilds of Northern Minn - Czar of the North - 04-06-2022
New member, long(ish) time reader. Finally decided it was safe to join the Horde, I'm sure the gummint is arredy watching me. I'm talking to you, guy in black suburban. I see you everyday on the way to work. Has to be gummint, who doesn't put 22" wheels on a Suburban?
Anyways, finally cracked the vault and spent some of the hard earned cash and built a 6.5 Grendel. Upper just arrived yestiday. Now if I can find some ammo. Sheesh it seems like everyone had it for sale until I ordered the upper. I've got dies, bullets powder and primers, just need the brass. Once i get some rounds thru it and see how accurate it is I finger out what scope to put on it, I'm going to borrow a 4-12 Prostaff off another rifle until then. If I can get it at 1 MOA i'll mebbe put on a decent scope.
So I've enjoyed reading yer stories and tips, thanks for all the help and I look forward to maybe contributing in the future.
I bought a borescope a coupla years ago and I'm not sure if it is the best or the worst thing I have ever bought. Barrels that look bright and shiny clean when looking from the muzzle turn out to be full of copper and carbon in the borescope. I think I was happier not knowing.
cheers,
COTN

Welcome Czar. Don't know if you have a Fleet Farm near you. I've been able to find brass there on occasion. I live in Mpls but hunt near Aakin, Mn.

Welcome to the forum Czar of the North! Watch Starline as they permit back order on 6.5 Grendel brass. Once back ordered it usually ships within a couple weeks. Midsouth Shooters supply seems to get 6.5 Grendel as often or more as any vendor Ive seen. It probably wouldnt hurt to sign up for online notification.

Welcome to the clan, CN, from the great nation of Texas! Tell us about your goals and your grocery list. Ammo is starting to show up. The Cabela's here in Allen had a bunch of it on their shelves.
