Solo,
I do. I built my Grendel specifically for this type of match.
Initially I was not interested in the Grendel when it was first brought to my attn. I am an F-class competitor and the capabilities of the Grendel I deemed not ideal for that type of competition.
Enter AR-Tact and the Grendel looked appealing all of a sudden, mainly the 6.5mm ballistics. And I did not want to shoot a 223 and the Gr gave me a good reason to try it out.
My rifle is a Satern barreled 18in. I put it together with whatever parts I could get at the time I wanted them. Was not interested in waiting for custom parts, as this would be an experiment.
All I have to say is, I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of this round. I have almost 1k rounds down the tube and no malfs whatever. It has turned out to be a good hunting round also, as I took 2 deer with it last season, and it will be the default hunting rifle going forward.
I like the ergos of this cartridge so much, that I am going to build a 6mm variant just for the hell of it to see how it does.
Feel free to ask any questions,I will try my best to answer.
