AZ PewPewPew Meet aka @Mike330R shooting diary

Larue grendel sight-in and velocity tests. Had to hand feed rounds since I don't have a magazine yet

 

How do 6.5 and .260 compare? Not necessarily just the specific rifles, I don't know the major differences between those rounds.

 

They both use the same caliber bullet, .264. The Grendel usually uses lighter bullets 90-123gr. 260Rem usually use 130-140'ish. Grendel uses 25'ish grains of powder while 260Rem uses 40+.

Grendel fits a standard AR15 (small frame) lower, 260 is AR10 style lower.

Look up and read comparing grendel to 308. I forget the specifics right now but grendel is less recoil and better ballistics with more or similar energy at distance.

 

From 'LRRPF52' on ARF.com who wrote 2 grendel reloading books:

 

I was wrong about the energy:

 

I've looked at 308 vs 6.5 grendel. AR15 pattern reciever seems like a good enough reason right there for it to be worth getting into. That 6.5 is like a lazer though so i guess just different rounds for different uses. I want a 300WM bolt gun next

 

Me too!!

 

Do it!
I will let you shoot mine next time we hit the range! It's a beast

 

Took the grendel back out today and did much better. Going to try some distance tomorrow as it's my last free weekday New job starts Monday. Gonna suck be an average workin' smuck

 

Back to work? Say it ain’t so...

 

Pretty consistent!

 

Took the 260 and grendel out today.
Did 1K with the 260 and did decent. Still need more practice.
Tried the grendel at 500 and it was way to easy. 20 out of 20.
Tried at at 1K and got a few hits but not many. It's a shooter!

At 500 yards:

Happy NFA day to me.
Q Erector, 22LR.
Thing is lighter than my phone!
Really wish that guy wasn't such a dick.

Couple more weeks for a 9mm can I hope.

 

I wonder if that .22 LR would fit on my browning mini 1911?

 

Will if it's 22 and has a threaded barrel.

 

Took the Grendel out a little farther today, 648 & 818 yards using the AG ammo.
At 648 I had about a 95% hit rate including the 1st round
At 818 I shot 20 rounds. Could not tell if it was hitting. I found 4 hits, all low, once I went to pick up the target.

Need more practice but she's a shooter!

Also tried the newly acquired Q Erector .22 suppressor.
Compared it (less 2 baffles) to the Rugged Oculus. Oculus is quieter but the Erector was WAY lighter. It's lighter than my iPhone. Almost feels fake.

Will try again with all the baffles in the erector.



Anyone else shooting lately?

 

damn thats a nice .22

 

Is that going to be a yote stomper? Josh you should roll out to Mcfate's brewery for some beers tonight.

 

No worries man, figured you wouldnt want to miss out on some carter action. Ah makes sense now with that rifle.

 

I think so...its right by McDowell road I believe.
