[northdude]

have you guys got this round over there ive just picked one up after having a 223 but found it a bit boring so decided to try one as the replacement got a howa mini bought some brass and the first hand loads i tried went into a thumb nail sized group at 100m impressed with it so far

Welcome to the Grendel gang, a very cool case that can take advantage of very little powder to give alot of bang for ya buck. What projectile/ammo combo did you use mate.

[northdude]

i was using cfe223 and speer 90gr tnts and speer 120gr gold dots

[Bill]

never bothered with the gold dots but the 90gr TNTs are my favorite bullet, they shoot pretty good for a light bullet in a fast twist.

hey I got sent this link by a mate today for a new style mag release, looks better then the factory set up, have you done the trigger spring kit yet northdude ?

I haven't done any mods to it yet trigger could do with a lighten up tho I'm always a bit reluctant to take rifles apart when they are going good only tried the gold dots as I had some here that I used in my 6.5 06
