I'll still take a little extra love though glad you saw it!

[sneaky one]

Nice shooting PD. !

Thinking its about time to visit my sister in utah and go see one of these mjc's how close are they to ogdon

[LRRPF52]

Ogden is way up north, while Saint George is on the Southern border.

While you are in Ogden, you need to go see the Browning Museum.

[PredatorDown]

They're starting to do most of the challenges at the North Springs range just outside of Price, Utah. I think it's about 2.5-3 hours from Ogden.

LRRPF, you still need to come to one of these things! As many heads as I've turned with my 22", I'd love to see their reaction to your 16" carbine nailing it. Their next confirmed shoot is at North Springs on April 30th. They planned this one well in advance because a few guys are coming all the way from Texas to shoot it. Distances shot will be 1000 and 1200. Registration won't open until 2 weeks before the event, and assuming it's like past events it will be limited to 20 shooters per distance. I wouldn't be surprised if they throw another challenge in before this one as well though

[LRRPF52]

It's definitely on my list. I need to make contact with those guys anyway.

Pretty sweet video

[jawbone]

if i hit a milk jug at 1,500 with 5 witnessed shots, i'd want more than a sticker. i'd probably want a red boat or something. there will never be a way to find out, though.

[PredatorDown]

I've still got to do the 1200 and 1 mile, and if I get them I get a hoodie lol. I was going to do the 1200 with my Grendel and 1 mile with the 7SAUM I'm building, but the more I've thought about it I want to do them all with the Grendel. I've always been the smallest cartridge and usually the only gas gun at these shoots, so if I could get the mile with it I doubt that record would be broken for a very long time lol

[schrödinger's cat]

Another 242 yards ! Giterdun !

[PredatorDown]

Lol easier said than done I'm afraid. It may only be that much further, but it's around another 40 minutes of drop!

[schrödinger's cat]

I'm aware of the difficulties, most people would say it's impossible, and for most shooters it is. Thanks for pushing this cartridge to it's absolute max and for showing us what's possible. I really hope you succeed.

[schrödinger's cat]

What type of mount are you using to compensate for this drop ? And what scope if you don't mind my asking.

[PredatorDown]

Scope is a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP, and the mount is an Aadland Engineering Select-a-Slope mount. There's composite inserts to change the cant, and it is currently set at 30MOA. In order to get me to the mile I have to put it to 50MOA, max out the internal adjustment of the scope, and hold over the entire reticle. Also, with the 50moa inserts in the closest I can zero is right around 700 yards. I usually just say screw it and zero at 1000 lol

PD- great shooting! What was your DA for that day?- just curious...

[Kilco]

I remember watching PD's 1000 yard milk jug shoot over a year ago, and i've never been so pleased to watch a shooter hit his mark. During the video you can hear some others guys shooting and playing around with their rifle seemingly not paying attention to the young man shooting his ar-15 gas gun at a puny 1000k mark.. I think it was the 4th shot? He smacked it and the jug erupted, following by the LRSU guy yelling "BOOM!!". I decided that day I was looking into this neat little cartridge, and a year later I'm one of the biggest advocates in northern Maine for the Grendel, and a AA FFL dealer. I'm thinking Predatordown should get some free AA advertisement stuff=))

Not familiar with the term DA, or I'd be happy to share

I wouldn't turn down some free stuff if you talked to the right people the only AA product I own is an elander mag though lol. I've thought about building a Beowolf for a while though

Glad the videos have gotten you to look into what is arguably the most versatile cartridge for the AR15 platform! I've tried to be plenty vocal to the guys in LRSU about it. I personally know of at least 5 rifles that have been built within my small shooting group due to mine.

Also been bugging the local Sportsman's Warehouse hunting manager to start carrying Grendel ammo, and after a couple of weeks it showed up on the shelves! Hoping it'll start being carried company wide, as they can never seem to keep it in stock...and I'm not even the one buying it
