    Hunting & Fishing Anyone getting TUNA of socal landings?

    Thanks for the link to that fishing report—mostly interested in the day trips, not the overnighters.

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Being base heavy, as a bullet encounters the beast, it will yaw and tumble. At 2.245" in length the 6.5mm 123 gn Hornady A-MAX and 129 gn SST can do plenty of damage yawing and tumbling through tissue without any expansion whatsoever. If an initially longer (2.750") .308 Hornady 165 gn SST...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Nice try for a "save." Consider the energy of an ice-pick through a leather jacket and the sternal border of the left 4th intercostal space penetrating into the right and left ventricles. Consider then the energy of a much-marketed frangible projectile in precisely the same location that might...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    First the punch line: There is no meaningful mathematical or quasi-mathematical model. One can only offer a few generalities. In general, it is the size and location of the wound that determines the lethality (or incapacitation) of penetrating injuries. Whether ice-pick or firearm, a small...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Have you read—or <b>published</b>—<i>anything</i> in the peer-reviewed wound ballistics literature? People. predators and game animals, their circulatory systems, central nervous systems, their other organ systems, and the behavior of various projectiles in living tissues are not modeled by...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Alas, a variety of search terms did not locate that discussion for me. What's the upshot (pun intended) of the discussion? Why does a small rifle primer result in lower pressure? More consistent ignition, but lower pressure, lower velocity, lower performance?

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Your understanding of wound ballistics is weak to non-existent. What's next? Shooting watermelons?

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    I recall that the small rifle primers of the Palma brass achieve more consistent ignition, hence lower standard deviation of velocity, but I do not understand the connection to "pushing the envelope." Can you edify me/us in that regard? This encapsulates one reason why I look forward to our...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    If this is meant as a wound ballistics analysis, it is seriously flawed.

    Old Style Gunshops

    Wayne's Gun Shop, formerly of Dublin CA. Great guns (especially the Title II), great service, great guys, great place to hang out... then CA outlawed even his non-NFA inventory. Wayne sold out to Gary who upheld the tradition of greatness until the harassment prompted Gary to close.

    Another possible path comes to mind. Wait for Desert Tech's MDR, a bull pup semi-auto available in .308, and suppress it. Desert Tech MDR: a different breed of bullpup

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    I passed these revelations on to our gunsmith. He confirmed that he used a PTG reamer on our rifle. He also said that Alexander Arms came to their gunsmithing school and AA oversaw the use of their own factory reamer. Our gunsmith had a broken Les Baer bolt on his own rifle chambered using the...

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    <u><b>IF</b></u> I remember correctly, Pacific Tool & Gauge. I do not have the measurements. For a reputable tool maker, I would expect adherence to the SAAMI specifications. After all, this rifle was ordered and manufactured more than a year after the SAAMI specs were published. Krieger barrel...
