While looking at the Grendel picture on instagram, I couldn't help but notice a can of ammo so conspicuously marked. Something else we can look forward to?  And if so, I didn't see that coming.

Mark started a thread here a little while back where he said he was experimenting with it. I believe he actually made one and donated it, then that rifle just went for sale on the EE. Something like that anyways.

This one? I guess ML wanted it back.

Yeah, looks that way.  I've personally never been into 25's really, but that is interesting though. It being a unicorn and all that.

Maybe I don't have the whole story, but it seems like a pretty douch canoe thing to get a rifle like that donated and then immediately put it on the EE.

Nice to see cartridge experimentation though, 25-08 is an interesting cartridge, IIRC it's faster than a .260/6.5c I bet that rifle would've made a fun PRS gun.

I suspect that's exactly why the thread about it in the LT forum got nuked.

Nice to see what I'm posting is getting looked at.

Well , 25-06 in a bolt gun has the case capacity to generate some velocity , A 25-08 , other than fitting in a AR 10 doesn't have any real leg up on the stuff that is out there .

Not sure exactly what the availability of bullets are in 25,243 or 6.5 . Always a consideration
