Hello everyone. Been shooting Grendel about a year at this point. Started reloading it recently (nearly finished with load development). I started shooting Grendel because of matches with longer engagements, as in 300+yd targets and 5.56 just wasn't getting the job done as well as I would have liked.
My rifle background is mostly 7.62NATO/.308 with 5.56 being added in over the last few years. Carried a M14 when I was USN and it formed my basis for what a proper rifle should be. Obviously, I have seen the light! The compactness of Grendel with comparable performance to .308 has me re-evaluating every rifle I now own.
Looking into maybe getting a Grendel bolt gun for local club benchrest matches. At 600M, this seems like a sweet spot for Grendel and makes a .308-sized load (e.g. 6mm CM) unnecessary. Any experience someone can share on that front would be much appreciated.
Thanks for having me. I look forward to learning from you all.
