Spent time yesterday sighting in a home brew 6.5 Grendel. The 6.5 Creedmoor will have to wait until next weekend. The long range shooters use a 20 MOA scope base. First Focal Plane scopes are preferred. Getting started price is pretty steep. My Grendel was holding under 1 MOA with Russian steel cased ammo. Running out 100 yards and back was good exercise. The 1000 yard shooters bring a motor vehicle.

Spent time yesterday sighting in a home brew 6.5 Grendel.

If you don't mind me asking is it an AR platform? That's what the Grendel was designed for.

I've admired the Grendel for a long time, but wasn't aware that their was cheap factory ammo for it (Russian, at that!). That makes it a lot more viable choice, for sure.

Lately I've been sort of smitten by the .277 Wolverine (brass can be formed from regular 5.56mm ). It's not the specialized long distance cartridge the Grendel is, but achieves about 90% of what the 6.8 SPC does, using readily obtainable brass, standard magazines, and unmodified bolts. Just screw in the new barrel and go!
