6.5 Grendel barrel

[MOOSE39465]

What barrels are you guys using in your 6.5 Grendel's? I want a Medium contour 18 inch barrel.

I have seen that barrel online but not many reviews on it.

Criterion 18" hybrid profile. So far it's looking good on the first basic workup I did. After initial break in it only took 3 patches to clean also.

I will check it out thanks. What kinda accuracy are you getting?

I only have around 45 rounds through it so far. In Lapua brass, rem 7.5's, 8208 xbr, 107smk I ran some 3 shot groups and had quite a few at an inch, and a couple at .5". I haven't played with seating depth at all yet. I also have a bunch of other bullets to try (90gr TNT's, 107 tmk's, 120gr gold dots's, and 130gr Berger hybrids) It's showing potential with the 107's which is good because I have a thousand of those lol!

20" 5R Melonite Fluted. I couldn't get the velocity out of the original 16" I built the rifle with. 1'm running 123gr SST's and 120gr Speer Gold Dot (when you can get them) with great success on Texas hogs out to about 425yds or so.

i've got a 16" ballistic advantage spr barrel on mine. still breaking it in but i think it'll be perfect for taking a few eastern white tails this year. plus the gun is pretty light overall.

I have built about 4-5 Grendel's now and BY FAR the best shooting one was an 18" from AR-15 performance . Easily shot .25 @ 100 with Hornady black. Shot exceptionally fast too.

Nice!!!

It

Nice!!!

Had to square up the receiver, Loctite 620 the barrel and after over 250 rounds, it shoots 3/4" or less, groups with American Gunner and my 123 ELDM reloads.
