Well, this is a cartridge that caught my attention and made me a little excited. The 2700fps with with a 90gr, 3000fps with a 75gr is very intriguing to say the least. From what I'm being told is that those velocities are lower than handloads will be by far. I have been talking with a small shop builder, he is telling me that they are seeing around 2900fps with the 90's, hes getting 3050fps with the 80's, and over 3100fps with the 75's using reloader 15 in a 20" barrel... that conversation made me go ahead and order a complete upper. I'm getting a 24" criterion barrel threaded 5/8x24, raptor charging handle, rifle + 2" adjustable gas system, and other parts he recommended. I'm planning to use this upper along with the lower on my grendel. I'll post pictures after I get it in after about 5ish weeks. Anyone else thinking about this caliber?
