Great target ormedium game round. I have several , bolt and semi auto. All are accurate , have minimal recoil and have effective terminal ballistics with the right bullets.

I also have a Grendel. Love it. Sometimes ammo is hard to find . I buy in bulk.

What platform is your Grendel? It is a very efficient cartridge designed for AR platforms.

My Alexander Arms A shoots better than I can. Be careful when selecting hunting ammo. There are lots of match/target bullets that will not perform well on deer.

I built it on a ar-15 platform. 18'' barrel . Shoots better than me. The barrel is made by now defunk company Hardened Arms. Great rifle.

29.3gr xbr8208 with 107SMK or 108 Scenar.
Magic.
Had several. Last one was Shilen barrel I built. Great cartridge but don't push it.
Its all the AR platform will stand.

How good was the Shilen barrel. Could you see a remarkable difference in it compared to other less expensive ones ?

 

[Chikn]

It was a very good barrel.
I dont even remember what my other barrel was....nothing to write home about though...or I'd remember it.

Generally...not always, but as a rule with barrels, you get what you pay for.

Yes thats true. I thought with a premier barrel maker would produce outstanding results.

I have a Hardened Arms barrel on my grendel and it shoots great. Sadly, they went out of business. As the saying goes- gun shoots better than me.

I've been out of it all for a long time. Haven't competed with a gasser since 2014.
If Krieger makes one in Grendel, I assure you, thats the one to have.
