Hey, I’m mocking your drawing up in a 3d program, and a few of the dimensions don’t line up…

Editor: Are you working from the linked SAAMI drawing PDF? Make sure you are seeing the start/end lines of the drawing correctly.

Sure sounds better than a 6.8 SPC.

I guess I just figured out what my Ruger M77 “All Weather” ultra light in 7.62×39 will become when I hit the 10,000 round mark on my factory barrel. (currently 6,720)

ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! I may have to build another bolt gun! this grendel will be a light pack gun to match my heavy varmint! It will be hard to beat a grendel in a supershort action of somesort with about a 20″ barrel!

Woohoo!!! I have been waiting on this to come to build a lightweight kid friendly sporter for hunting and target shooting. It’s a better round for kids hunting than a .223 and roughly equal to a .243 but cheaper to shoot in total barrel life cost. I’ll have to start saving $!
