[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1270795, member: 2736"] Thanks. With all the internet Hype and claims, I don't believe most of the claims and test as much as I can to prove (To myself) before I comment on anything. Manufactures seem to elaborate on there products performance and use only best case conditions The reason I use the Remington ammo Was because it was advertised as the fastest and they designed the 6.8 SPC. and I used 120 grain Alexander arms ammo for the same reason.(They advertised it for a 18" barrel) so I expected it to be a little faster in the 20" barrel and gave a real world comparison because all three rifles had a 20" barrels. Hornady tested there ammo in a 24" test gun and used a 123 grain bullets and clamed more velocity than the designers of the Grendel. my friend was unable to match there velocity in his 20" AR so it was not considered for a comparison. also it did not compare to the Remington. I will try the 120 grain Hornady in my bolt action rifle and see what the velocity is. I did try the 115 FMJ rem ammo and it was an average of 100 ft/sec slower than the SMK ammo. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
