The more I shoot my new Bushy M4 the more I love it. Had no problem destroying a steel plate at 100 yards with Irons and EoTech, I ended up cutting the Eo off because it took all of the challege out of it, lol. Here are the results of the Eo at 50yards on paper:  And here are the results @ 200yrds with the Grendel. Still early in load development but I think the 120gr Nosler BT's have great potential once I refine the load. Also ordered some 100gr Nosler BT's, Hopefully I'll get a chance to load them up and try them out in a week or so. Should be a hot little round. One of the Grendel guys is reporting 2950fps and very tight groups with the 90gr Spears. Anyways, here are the results, I was shooting fairly fast so the groups could have been smaller had I put a little more effort into the shots but I was out there more for fun then precise shooting, lol. Edit: Group identification: just to clarify, this wasn't one group. Lowest shot was made during elevation correction for 200 yards, Middle group that is somewhat touching is 1st group with one flyer to the right, upper shitty group was with some Noslers that were loaded a little warmer then the first group and opend up on me.   We also got my buddies new M4 sighted in and properly broke in   It's his first AR and he was shooting irons only. RRA 16" 1 in 9 upper. Shot great, he's already talking about ordering an EoTech, lol. |

Okay..I jus seen the new .223 SHORT FAT ROUND today, dunno exactly what it was called, is that the same as the 6.5 or 6.8? Jus wondering. |

What sort of muzzle velocity does the grendel generate with teh 120 grain Noslers? Im running 120 grain Ballistic Tip Boat Tails in my .260... very impressive load for my .260... I blame the errant shots on the shitty shooter... the damn thing put 3 shots touching :D Yea, Im bragging because its the best damn reload I have ever made. Bite Me.

| yep, 140grainers were average 2350 or so for me. 90-100grainers are coming in at just shy of 3K as reported by another Grendel shooter. I just started working loads up for mine and haven't tried anything other then BLC2 yet. Still plenty of room for improvement just need to take the time to find the best combo. |
A few of the guys on the Grendel forum are much farther along in the load development process then myself, here are some of their results. These are the results WalkerTexasRanger (at 65Grendel.com) has reported:

just to clarify, the 6.5 target pic wasn't one group. Lowest shot was made during elevation correction for 200 yards, Middle group that is somewhat touching is 1st group with one flyer to the right, upper shitty group was with some Noslers that were loaded a little warmer then the first group and opend up on me.

| Hey 02, why do you use those Shoot-N-See targets? I have the same scope that you do (without the gold ring though), and I can see 6.5 holes just fine at 200.... I do usually use orange targets, but I can see holes in black too when I use black bullseyes. Just wondering. |
You know what that means right??????????????????????? You have excellent taste but spend entirely too much money on your toys.
