22 ARC / 22 Grendel

My thinner ar500 plate that was 212yrds away…… I’m going to replace it with a 3/8” steel

Ended up ordering a 16” ballistic advantage barrel. Figured I’d just have one upper for day and one for night.

I’ll post the data as I get it…..hopefully it’ll like the same loads.

Hopefully I’ll find someone around here to hunt coyotes with.
 
Ran a few loads through the 16” barrel this evening. Groups were decent considering I was shooting off a tripod with a thermal. I’ll list the pictures in the following order: 62 eldvt over n133, 62 ELD vt Vmatch (factory), 75 eldm over staball match and 88eldm over staball match.

My opinion so far is 1/6.5 twist would be better for the heavyweights. I think this cartridge will shine with the 60-80grn bullets and I’m really liking the ELD vt so far.

Looks like the 16” doesn’t like cfe223 with the 75eldm. Maybe it’ll be better with a heavier bullet. The 50grn Barnes VG wasn’t too bad. I might play around with it a little more. So far n133 is the cleanest/quietest in this 16” upper.

Decided to try some 53vmax and n133. I was shocked that the 16” shot such a nice group with the thermal. First group was the 16” ballistic advantage barrel second group was the 22” rainier arms barrel. The blue marks were from adjusting the thermal first.
