Went and did some shooting with the Grendel this afternoon. When I first got it I shot 123g. Amax and 28 grains of xbr8208, it shot some really good groups with that load. Since then I tried CFE223 and the same Amax bullet and also saw really good groups with it as well. The CFE223 load was slower but showed very consistant speed with SD in the single digits in cold weather. Today I decided to load some up with 8208 and give it another shot since I'm getting low on CFE. Don't know why I ever quit using 8208!' It shoots great in everything I try it in, and today showed 2700 fps on the chrono from my 20" barrel.
This is three shots from a lazer'd 100 yards.
Backed up to 300 and used my Nikon spot on app to hold over one mil. It's hard to see my dot against the shoot and see stickers so I held just over so my dot touched the top of the sticker and tried to center my wire on the red dot.
App showed 3" of wind drift at 300 yards.
Wasn't real steady but managed to shoot a 2" group at 300 off a bipod with a rear bag.
I know a lot of guys don't like hold over points, but I have to say that the Nikon app is pretty close! I pulled the first shot left but I'll take the second two any day of the week.
Needless to say I came home and loaded up 50 more rounds of this combo. I think next time I'll take some bigger card board and use an X instead of round stickers, on 10x it's hard to get it centered at 300+
I'm running an Specialized Dynamics 20" 6.5 Grendel upper with a a Weaver 3-10x tactical, the sub tension at mil setting is the same as my Nikons allowing me to use my app with it. Lower today was a standard mil spec Essential Arms with a Geissele SSA-E.
Great day to get out and burn powder!
