Grendel at Camp Perry? - Mav714 - 07-15-2013
Is anyone using the Grendel at the National Matches at Camp Perry?
I live about thirty minutes away and would love to see how they are doing with it!
Grendel all the way!

Been tried with some success, but no championships. The money is on 6mm Turbo or another 6mm called the 6mm Hagar. Carl Bernosky has used the Hagar with great results.

Velocities are way, way, too slow to give an edge in the Match Rifle category.
I am not competitive in High Power anymore but did shoot my Grendel a couple weeks ago in a 800 agg match. Shot just fine at 200 and 300 and had huge problems at 600 due to very difficult wind conditions. 123 Lapua at about 2500 fps is what I can get out of it safely from my Match Rifle gas gun. Reminded me of the days shooting M-14's with the old 168 grain Match loads. Constantly cranking windage every time you saw even the slightest change in mirage or wind flags. And constantly losing points I wouldn't have lost shooting a 6 AR.

It's my desire to shot my new 20" 6.5 Grendel AR next season. I'm not a barn-burner trickshot or anything like that so I just go to shoot the match and try to get a Personal Best each time I do a match.

Look at CFE223 with the 107gr SMK or 108gr Scenar. I think you will be surprised with what speeds you can get. I'm getting a very comfortable 2550fps from a 16" with 123gr A-MAX with that powder. I started to see slight signs of departure in the mid 2600fps region.

My LGS has plenty of CFE but no 6.5 bullets!
thankfully, I have a bunch of 120's to start building loads but I need to find those 107 SMKs!

My 20 inch Alexander Arms barrel seems to prefer loads around 2450-2550 fps with various 123 grain bullets. Great for practical rifle matches on steel out to 600 yards where fast shooting, and low recoil are advantages. There are other cartridges I would use when shooting on paper with generous times to complete the shot string.
