Remember our President-Elect wrote The Art of the Deal. Has anyone reading this thread read the book? Main question: "Does this book indicate that core values are not open for trades?" If not the implication is that everything is subject to negotiation, trades, and so on.

Hornady offers both SST and AMAX 123 grain bullets for the Grendel. When both rifles use 16" barrels, there is a tiny edge at the muzzle for the SPC in velocity but the bullets are shorter, so they slow down faster. At 100 yards, the HITS scores used by Hornady to gauge game harvesting...

TIMC has it right -- especially if you like the way your .223 handles! The 6.5 Grendel fits in the AR-length action and exhibits better trajectory and wind drift than even the .308 Winchester. About the only way to beat the Grendel's wind drift with a .243 Winchester is to use handloaded heavy...

The Grendel does better than the .243 Winchester in many respects. Better wind drift and better game-harvesting potential when the bullet hits. You can read more about it in the newly published 6.5 Grendel Reloading Handbook, Vol I

Folks are on the mark when saying that the second amendment is not about hunting or recreational shooting. It is all about protecting the citizenry from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Having acknowledged that, I submit that the more folks that use ARs for hunting or competition, the more...

Getting into the canonical 10" vital zone is about the same hold out to past 250 yards with all of the cartridges mentioned when using a 200 yard zero. The great separator is wind drift. The Grendel does very well by besting the .243 in wind drift and ability to anchor game when the bullet...

I'm amazed at how time flies -- it's been two years since we had that very interesting discussion! I'm hoping that deadduck357 was able to scare up dies and barrel so that he could get some experimental results. The timing is about right for him to report out if everything went well. I...

How strongly are you wedded to the notion of a 6.8? If you are still undecided, you might want to also look at the 6.5 Grendel. There isn't a lot of difference in muzzle velocity for same bullet weight and barrel length, but the longer, skinnier for weight .264 bullets tend to keep the...

During the years following World War II and Korea, there was a huge supply of FMJ war-surplus ammo on the market. A lot of folks reversed the bullet in hopes of getting expansion. It's possible this was the motivation for our Germans too -- if so, then they would have been in trouble with...

I've got a BLR in 270 Winchester. It's a pretty neat gun and I can get 1" - 1.5" groups pretty regular. Hope you got the '06 -- won't be sorry, and you have a lefty around, they'll appreciate being able to use it!

BDS, Many thanks -- this is an insightful and informative discussion! It is also consistent with my understanding of how things work.

Outstanding info! Thanks!

Quote from natman: "All of them. The greater variance in point of aim caused by shooting offhand is added to mechanical variance, it doesn't cover it up. In other words, if you can hold your point of aim to within, say, 6 MOA shooting offhand and your rifle shoots 2 MOA, then your groups will be...

"...again the original topic is not whether or not it is better or worse in it's capable range. it was why do people hate on this legendary cartridge.. I'm merely offering the point of view of those that do not get excited about this caliber. you don't have to agree or even think it's a relevant...

Some parts of this discussion seem a little repetitive. I think we can summarize the 30-30 with the following: The bullet is capable of taking deer well-past 200 yards The trajectory is steep enough that most folks will need to use both Kentuky Windage and Tenessee elevation to assure hits...

Getting Children Outdoors Excellent article. I think you did better than I did on my first article. The first one tends to be the most challenging because there's a tendency to spend an extraordinary amount of time getting it "just right." It also took awhile to find a place to get mine...

The 30-30 can be very impressive out 300 yards even with traditional (vice Hornady's new stuff). This article focused on a different cartridge but the 30-30 was one of the standards compared against: http://shootersnotes.com/grendelmania/grendel-potential-for-large-game/. There's also a...

Ammoguide (http://ammoguide.com/) has cartridge volumes for almost all of the 800+ cartridges in their database. There's also a velocity estimator link one can use for changes of barrel length, reduced loads, or bullet weights. Cheers!

My 1903 Springfield has the Williams Side Mount with HCO rings and the peep-sight works well when I want to look through it! For more info: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=148233

Factory wadcutter ammunition is indeed expensive. The cowboy loads and classic Remington/UMC lead bullets are about as inexpensive as it gets for factory .38 Special ammo. These are so-so for SD purposes but I would take the WC over them because I would expect that both the temporary and the...
