[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1692958, member: 101755"] Nearly, I shoot mine quite a bit since I discovered 6.5 Grendel roughly 19 months ago. That chambering really peeked my interest. I loath 5.56...so when that was about all I owned they just sat in the safe. I did build a 7.62x39 and shot a bunch of stuff with it. But I was shooting Wolf factory ammo which is not very impressive. Once I found out about the 6.5 Grendel my bull barreled 5.56 became a 18" 6.5 Grendel...then I scrapped the 7.62x39 for a 20" 5R 6.5 Grendel. Next thing I know I building a 24" Grendel. That made me think about a possible night vision Grendel so I built a 16". I was reloading for them and decided to build the 20" 7.62x39 back out and reload for it. The accuracy was crazy compared to the Wolf ammo, so I built a 16" 7.62x39 that ended up being my NV rig! I try to not mistreat my bolt guns, so for the last couple weekends I drag out some of them for a little range time. Week before last week was 6.5 day...took two and last weekend I took three of my magnum rifles to the range. But filling those magnum cases with 87gr of powder each...sure made me wish I was shooting one of the AR's (Grendel or 7.62x39) where each case only gets 29gr of powder. I've shot the 16 and 24 inch Grendel's and 20" 7.62x39 out to 600yds proficiently on 10" steel plates. I'm not too thrilled with my AR 300BO, it isn't cycling very well so I'm thinking to pull the piston system off it and go DI. It's super accurate but it short cycles all the time. A buddy talked me into building one to go with my newest creations. It was to get my can and NV to be a super hog killer...but that is going on a back burner for now! So in summary my AR safe queens not only changed caliber they now see sun light on a regular basis now. [/QUOTE]
