Hey Everyone,
I have developed a problem. Like an alcoholic taking his first drink, I bought my first AR. Now I can't stop....
I am wanting to build my next one and have conflicting wants.
I started out gung-ho for .300 Blackout and the idea of running surpressed. Did my form 1 research and started looking around at kits & components to build a suppressor. My thought is to go with a 10.5" barrel and a pinned and welded suppressor 8"-10" long. That will keep me to a single form 1. The best part would be casting my own subsonic boolits
Then I read an article on the 6.5 Grendel. I have always wanted a good long range rifle. This cartridge really has my attention. A nice billet upper, Criterion 20" barrel, Timiney trigger etc. would make a great long range target rifle. Maybe a second lower with a trigger better suited to hunting? The big question is can I reasonably shoot cast bullets, at reduced load, and expect good 100-200 yard performance?
Surpressed fun or a long range tack driver?? Which way would you go?
