I sold both my m1a's.
I just put together a 6.5 grendel. Hopefully will get out to test it next weekend

It's working. worked up some loads using the 123 hornady ELD bullets and the 120 grain SST
used powders in various loads,
So far I've used 8028, Varget, and BL-C2
1 inch group with a varget load and another with the 8028.
I just loaded up 5 test loads using AR-comp.
Will keep you posted.
so far, I am shooting for group size, once I get that DOWN below 1 inch... then I will chronograph it and tell you about it.
Using a Bear Creek Arsenal upper with 1 in 8 twist barrel. I swapped out hte bolt with a Brownells bolt as the BCA one was a cut (after heat treat), The brownells was machined to the proper diameter before heat treat. I'm talking about the extractor. YOu can tell becasue the BCA one is shiney where they cut it.
The Lower is a Rock River Arms that I used to use in NRA highpower. has a nice timney trigger in it and an A2 stock.
NO BRUISING on the WIMP!!!! Yipppeee
