Evening all, thought I'd start a build thread on my first 6mm in 25 years.
This is my 3rd Howa mini action I like em. Some will grumble about the Mag release and a lack of floor plate but I like the dynamics of the short action slick action which feeds the Grendel case like butter.
The 20 inch Grendel HB came off without drama and my gunsmith did an awesome job with a profile similar to the one that came off, albeit with an 2 extra inches and smidge more around the knox. Overall weight shouldn't be much more than before.
Arc Ballistics UK made the reamer and a Bartlein 1:8 twist barrel was used.
I have some Hornady Black 105gr HPBT ammo for run in and I've already converted some 6.5 Grendel Hornady cases using the Hornady 2 die set.
Off to the range shortly for run in...
