    Got it all put together, can't wait to break it in and see how it shoots.

    And now I have to feed it

    I assume it's chambered in 6.5 Grendel.

    Correct, it's a 24" brownells, 5r, 1:8.

    I'm going to wait until I see how it shoots before I decide on a brake, but eisenach arms makes one that looks like it would be sexy on that barrel.

    Looks great, but I have no experience with that round. Don't even know anybody who does. What is the weight of the bullets you will be shooting, and about how fast do they exit the barrel?

    85-123gr, but there is load data for heavier bullets, but OAL becomes an issue with magazines and certain barrels. Thought mine is supposed to have the grendel II chamber which has a longer throat for heavier bullets.

    Velocities run from 2900fps with the lighter bullets down to 2350-2500fps with the 123gr.

    I have yet to fire, or even see fired, a single round in this caliber, so I'm kind of excited to see how it does.
