I will chrono the factory loads and report back, I need the info for when I start loading. I have both 105 and 108 grain. Need to break the barrel in, clean, and zero optic in. Also have to do one for my son , it will be a busy day because I have a new pistol to check out as well.
Dino11 I sent you a message on ARF.com didn’t realize you were a member here. I’m curious about the length of your Odin Works bolt. When Odin first released their 6.5 Grendel barrels and bolts a couple years ago their bolts measured 2.800” long from the tail to the front of the bolt lugs. Alexander Arms lengthened the 6.5 Grendel bolt to 2.810” with a bolt face depth of .136”. Adding .01 to the bolt length keeps the specification the same for firing pins.
AR-15 5.56/223 bolts have a .125” bolt face depth and overall bolt length of 2.800”. The specification I’ve found for AR-15 firing pins is 3.279” -.09” tolerance. With a 2.800” length 6.5 Grendel bolt you don’t want a firing pin longer than 3.269”.
I’m curious if Odin is still using 2.800” length bolt with .136” bolt face depth on their 6 MM ARC BCG. If you get time I’d appreciate it if you could measure your bolt and firing pin lengths. It is good to know specifics of new products on the market since having a firing pin to long can cause pierced primers and a greater chance of a slam fire.
