As fast as a fucking cheetah, dude.

lol I hit a deer once and my old man clipped one. I was in a truck with a grill guard so no damage was done I called the DNR to see if I could take it home and gave me the okay. the one my old man clipped kept going like a trooper.

I've owned my Para Ordinance .45 ACP "GI Expert" for about a year now, during which time I've fired about 150 rounds with it. I've fired quite a few different handguns, and other than a certain Walther handgun that I don't remember the name of, it's definitely my overall favorite handgun.

A few days ago I got to go shooting with my friend and his family. His dad is ex-military, and his three older brothers are all in the Special Forces, so there were a lot of guns to shoot. I brought mine of course, and one of my friend's brothers showed me how to take it apart. Tonight I disassembled and cleaned it myself for the first time, and successfully reassembled it. I feel a lot more comfortable with it after doing so.

I love guns.

So what do you guys think of the 6.5 Grendel? It seems to be one of the best precision rifle rounds for an AR setup, and from what I have seen, it is a lot less expensive than some other options.

Although it is more expensive than the 7.62x51, it's ballistics are better. It flies straighter, and holds farther down range. It seems like a marksman's dream round, but I don't know. I have read that it eats up barrels though, so thats another thing to think about.

the cost of 7.62 ammo is very discerning. all I can find right now are 20r boxes for 20-23 USD.

ANYWHO, any thoughts on that 6.5 Grendel round I mentioned earlier?

At 8/12/12 07:50 PM, TruBluFoxx wrote: ANYWHO, any thoughts on that 6.5 Grendel round I mentioned earlier?

I heard that they were going to make it a alternative to 5.56 for US military use (or make the firearms able to use both 6.5 and 5.56 by making the chamber dual gauged)

but thats all Ive heard of Grendal.

I've been a fan of the 6.5 Grendel ever since I first heard of it back in 06, and I still can't believe it's not a household name! IMO it's the best middleground between the .223 and .308, and I'd even go so far as to say that it surpasses it's 6.8 SPC counterpart for its intended purpose as a true and competent intermediate cartridge.
One drawback is that it's chubby by design in order to fit in a standard AR magazine well. Thus, a 6.5 magazine won't carry as many rounds as a 5.56 magazine will, due to the girth of the casing. I wish there was a larger consumer demand for it though - it's not nearly as prevalent as I'd like it to be.

I agree. but most of the time people just know the conventional rounds.

Yeah. I think it would be nice to see a lightweight 6.5 bolt-action. It has been something that was tickling my brain recently.

I don't know where you would find those I always say just stick with high performance .308/7.62MM but thats just me.

6.5 has greater accuracy at longer ranges, and a tighter arc. I would love that in a bolt action, and Lapua is too damn expensive for my tastes. I really wanted the 98 Bravo until I saw the price of that round.

I knew a guy who used .227 and he said it shot straight and had tight grouping on his hunting rifle. though I prefer 30-30 or .308 are my calibers of choice on a rifle.

Distance? I'm talking 1000+ yards.

I do like .308. It's a nice round.

yeah it is but it tears deer the fuck up and leaves no meat for steaks or jerky if you don't headshot it.

Lol, yeah...too bad a headshot doesn't mean a killshot....

with a .308 it is. but only the head because if you hit any of the vital meat areas you are just going to shred up viable meat thats good for consumption.

.338 lapua is fucking expensive, man.

Cheapest was Lapua brand @ 64ish for 20 rounds.

well I have to renew my carry permits (open and Concealed) this winter and am deciding which handgun I wish to get I have it down to three: Colt 1911 .45 , a 9MM Sig P226 and a .44 S&W Model 29

I am leaning toward the Sig.

DO WANT THE SIG!!! But they're so damn expensive... At least the 9mm is the most affordable out of the three that you listed. If I were you and had the money, I'd likely get the Sig and never stop shooting.
