The precision matches are individual, shooting one to two MOA steel out to 1k from various field positions and props on the clock. In the past I've run a 308 gasser in the DMs and 6.5 Creedmoor bolt gun in the precision matches. The Grendel is giving me the best of both, only bested by the big 6.5 beyond 800. I've managed a couple of stage wins and top ten finishes against some stiff competition with the little gun. All with factory 123 Amax ammo. I'm loving this rifle!
FLS:
I have always said that these types of matches are ideal for the Grendel. Probably the 6.8 too given the heavier bullets.
That said, few here who use the Grendel win these matches and I am not sure why.
Do you think it is more skill or more the rifle / cartridge / optic combination?
