6.5 grendel ar build

[MISportsman]

I've shot 2 antelope and 3 pigs with my Grendel, and they have just dropped right there. I'm using the 123 sst.

They had a hand full of the sst too, I almost grabbed some too. I have read a lot of complaints about the accuracy of the factory hornady with the sst. How did it shoot for you?

Can’t speak for Grayling, but I’ve had a pair of Grendels that shot the absolute snot out of the factory loaded 123 SSTs. My most recent Grendel does not seem to care much for it though.

After I Finnish my bench 6arc I'd like to build a nice light 6.5 grendel deer rifle.

My gun has a 16" ballistic advantage Hanson barrel in it that I did zero break in on. I shot about 50 Hornady American gunner rounds through it for the brass, and it was about a 1.5 moa combo. Then I bought a box of Hornady custom loaded with the 123sst, and it shot about 1.5 moa. By this point I was a little bummed with the accuracy. I then loaded my own using 28 grains of ramshot tac and got it down to a little under 1 moa. Maybe 3/4? It would probably help if I was a better shot and cleaned the copper out of the barrel. It has about 150 rounds down it at this point.
