[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1443701, member: 12995"] Went and sighted in the 6.5 Grendel (24" Satern/Brownells barrel) after putting on the new SWFA SS 3-15x42 MQ-DM scope and the Vortex CM-202 mount last year. I never got around to shooting it but once, and ran out of daylight to finish sighting it in...Been busy since. I was using some factory Hornady 123 SST that I had bought a few years back to get some once-fired brass for reloading. I still have a couple boxes left, so trying to shoot them up and see if the barrel is worth pursuing or worth selling and then buying a true match-grade 20" heavy barrel. Here's the final group using 8" targets. The group is about 1.5" at 100 yards. Not the best group, but not bad considering I didn't have a rear bag to steady and load the rifle down into (when doing accuracy testing and load workup I use front & rear bags). For using factory ammo, and not ideal conditions, I think I will pursue some load workup with this barrel to see how tight I can get the groups. It's showing potential in less-than-ideal conditions, I think with tailored handloads and a rear bag, I can get this thing sub-MOA. Hopefully more to report soon, as we just setup a 100 yard range at my buddy's house, and it's not hunting season, so we'll have a few hours in the evenings after work to shoot. Here's the group...
