Well after having to replace my scope rings, i took it to the range. I did a zero shot a few groups then let loose at the 400 and 500m steel tgts. With no ballistic charts i let loose 4 rds at each and hit 1 times each tgt. But I now know the drop i should do better next time.
100m

So a friend of mine has been having a few problems with his Canadian made Nonrestricted rifle.it's also in 6.5 Grendel. Looks like an AR but its notdue to the way the upper and lower are fabricated . ALBERTA TACTICAL MODERN VARMITER Very nice!

End of report wrap up.
A smaller round that fits an AR,that hits like a .308 WIN with less recoil. It has better BC then most .30 caliber bullets less wind drift. With it's reduced recoil I was able to use a semi auto to it's advantage at 400+ m . Other than the ammunition cost I think this round will become a lot more popular. As its 6.5 mm or .264 cal it can be used to hunt with in states and provinces that ban use of .22 cal to take game other than bird or other SMALL GAME. Now to get it in a non restricted chassis
