I made the decision to finally build a 6.5 Grendel AR, something I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. The thought of having a semiautomatic rifle that rivals my .308 bolt action in both accuracy and range (given the 6.5mm projectile's superior ballistics) is intriguing to me. Plus, who doesn't need an excuse to build another AR?
For the scope I'll probably be pulling the SWFA SS 6x42 scope off my Remington 700. I've got a Black Hole Weaponry 20" barrel on the way, and will be using my UTG Pro 15" Keymod FF tube. Lower is built with a RRA NM trigger and RRA Operator A2 stock.
I understand that the 6.5 Grendels benefit from an adjustable gas system, so I've decided to try out an adjustable gas key rather than an adjustable gas block. Not only is this cheaper, but it should be far easier to adjust at the range.
One thing I'm curious about, though, are the Lee 6.5 Grendel dies. I keep reading that they are not recommended, but I can't find any info on WHY.
