6.5 Grendel 1000 Yards

[@ryanhutchinson3550]

Those were hits! Not ricochets

[@chriscosby2459]

6.5 Grendel is one of the most effective cartridges for the size of the case. Amazing

[@tim7325]

Need a new spotter.

[@flyfishermannick3632]

Dont think he knows what a ricochet is...

[@scottbeverly188]

Thanks for the video, and for those calling for a new spotter, he actually did decent and of course he knows a ricochet is a hit.

[@PooreBoy74]

Just recently got a 6.5 Grendel, 300 yards has been as far as I have had the opportunity to stretch it out , 1,000 yards is impressive with the little cartridge, especially with the wind blowing

[@ThinkSoberly]

The video is really good especially since they’re so little content on the 6.5 Grindel but instead of calling him ricochets, you should call him impacts and also at the end of the video it would be really nice if you showed the results the impact on steel. Thanks.

[@pink_love_cat4928]

Gotta love that wolf6.5 that's some good shutting ii .

[@flyfishermannick3632]

Worst spotter ever

[@LegendaryPkl]

Bro those were hits haha. Well done

[@APlife764]

Hahahaha those were all hits🤔🥺he got cheated 🤣🤣🤣🤣good shooting bro 😎

[@russellwilson1906]

Finally tried and impacted a torso target at 1080.22 yards today with an 18 inch Alexander arms 6.5 Grendel using hornady black 123 ELD and a Vortex Viper Pst Gen II 5-25x scope

[@desertdwellers7294]

Cool. It's fun when you get a hit at such long range.

[@WheatBread006]

Man good shooting. Recommend you get a rear bag; you’ll likely see improvement.

[@ShedhornSports]

A better spotter location is behind and just off the shooters shoulder. Their angle will be more like the shooters. Your hits are high, low, left, right or on target. There is no behind but you probably know that now. Please make another video, fun to watch and good shooting.

[@dt3852]

Nice shooting

[@d-mad0502]

I may have missed it, but what's the barrel length on that thing?

[@desertdwellers7294]

24 inch. BCA complete upper.

[@andrewmn3024]

Nice shooting, what optic were you running?

[@desertdwellers7294]

It's a Vector Sentinel 8-32 I got from Amazon.

[@Happycamper808]

Those BCA uppers seem nice for the prices they charge. Did you do that camo finish yourself?

[@desertdwellers7294]

The 6.5 Grendel upper from BCA is great but the .450 Bushmaster I got from them needed a little work to get it to function properly. I also got a 9mm upper that I haven't decide if I like it or not yet. I also got a 24 inch.223 Wlyde barrel a couple of years ago from BCA that is good but not as good as an Anderson 24 inch.223 Wlyde barrel I have. I'm picky I guess. Anyway, as for the paintjob, yes I did it my self.

[@luciankristov6436]

Rhe 6.5 G is suck an underated round. Its one of my favorite

[@carlcasteel7159]

I would love to do this with my Grendel!

[@desertdwellers7294]

I am lucky to live in such a wide open area. Last year I ran into some guys from California out near where I shoot. They had come up here to Nevada to shoot really long range. I forget what caliber their rifles were but they were shooting out to 2400 yards.

[@Swampytheroot]

I don't have the ability in my area to shoot past 250yds. Population density and biomass. So I have a question and I am not being a dick about it: why not have a hi-def camera maybe 50 feet away? It wouldn't work here because something luscious and green would have already started trying to adopt/mate with it.

[@desertdwellers7294]

In this video I do have a 1080P ( I only go as high as 1080P) camcorder about 45 feet away from the target (upper right video). I was very worried of having both a camera and a Jackery to power the camera for long periods of time so close to the bullet impacts, so it is a little far to the right and it caused a distorted angle of the impacts compared to what is actually happening. However I'm going to start moving the camera closer to center line of the target.

[@blugrassmaniac]

Spotter could use a little work but you did ok!

[@A2093Z]

Those are hits not ricochetes!

[@corneliusbaynes1903]

Your spotter blind I’m hearing hits

[@desertdwellers7294]

From 1000 yards we can't hear much. The camera I have at 15 yards (upper right video) is picking up the sound. The Caldwell camera system were using to spot is 20 frames per second and has a jerky video and no audio. It's designed for paper targets where the holes stay still. The Nikon P900 camera (upper left video) has much better optics than our scopes or spotting scope (why were trying the Caldwell) so at that distance it easy to miss where lighter dirt imparts are or a hit barely can be seen. The sun causes a lot of heat distortions, so again, why we're trying to Caldwell. Overall the camera system I'm using works pretty good but we do have to fine tune it. I would like to include the video from the Caldwell but I can't get it to sync up right. Even after adjusting to 30 FPS it still has the shots out of sync within a minute.

[@West-Texas-Pipeliner]

Those hits dude . Not ricocheting

[@desertdwellers7294]

They hit, then they ricocheted

[@West-Texas-Pipeliner]

@@desertdwellers7294 correct , so I would call them a HIT to reiterate that the bullet hit the target

[@nicholaskoenig1089]

Howdy, do you have an email for business inquires? Thanks!

[@desertdwellers7294]

My email is [e-mail]

[@rogerbartholomew1995]

You need a new spotter.......

[@Shotguan]

Do you have reason bipod is backwards ?

[@desertdwellers7294]

I mount my bipods so they fold forward. If you mount yours the other way that's cool with me. To each their own.

[@MrCooper89]

My man, that bipod is mounted in its proper orientation.

[@blackfam972]

WHat barrel are you using?

[@desertdwellers7294]

Complete upper is from Bear Creek Arsenal. 24 inch, 1:8 twist as I recall.

[@gustav-no8rz]

Your spotter needs to learn right from left. He kept saying left, when it was right. Hits are not ricochets.

[@desertdwellers7294]

Yep, I do that a lot myself. Since I usually will see the slpash, I know what he means. Yet when the bullet hits thet target, it ricochets off the target, again I know what he meant.

[@roy71295]

1:17 Looked like a hit.

[@desertdwellers7294]

Yeah, I got the steel four times that run. Problems we had. 1: The new steel target 16x16 inches is frickin heavy, even the 6.5 Grendel doesn't move it from 1000 yards. 2: The Caldwell camera system doesn't have the best video and no sound at all. We couldn't see the impacts on steel at all and of course could not hear anything. The sound in the video is from another camcorder placed next to the Caldwell camera. 3: The video in the upper left is from a Nikon P900 at our location. as you can see there was a much greater variance of what we were seeing from the Caldwell camera (located about 6 feet right and 10 feet lower than our shooting angle). I was a little worried having cameras and a Jackery any closer to target for obvious reasons, they're expensive). But we are working those problems out and hopefully the next long range session will be better. Thanks for watching.

[@davidycedo1606]

He can't see.

[@rustyrutledge9094]

The spotters calling is awful

[@mr.t1303]

You have a bad spotter.

[@desertdwellers7294]

My brother enjoyed shooting. We went out together even though his health was deteriorating. I know he was no longer spotting right but he just wanted to have some fun whiles he could. He pasted away two days ago.

[@ThinkSoberly]

Sorry to hear about your brother glad you guys spent time with each other!

[@Huy_Nguyen_USA]

As of today, the price of 308 is significantly less than 6.5 Grendel.🥲
