    Thanks for your comments @Bagheera and nice shooting. Sure is an accurate little cartridge, that 16 inch barrel must be handy. We went down to 18 inch and I was reluctant but glad we did.

    I do have a bullet comparator for the Grendel and have taken notes on Ogive but since we are limited to maxazine length I assumed we would not be close enough to the lands to get overly concerned (thinking only from an accuracy stand point), but I was not aware of the effects it would have on pressure.

    It would seem that most people have had success with ADI 8208 up around that 27.5 - 28 gr. mark and that would appear right on the edge of a pressure spike.
