AR to 6.5 Grendel?
Not really because I have stuff available but that's nice too. But it has good case capacity / velocity, High BC, easy to get brass (just necked 6.5 Grendel) and small rifle primers. Look at the loads: http://6mmar.com/6mm_AR_Loading_Info.html

Courtesy is a good thing! Try this two sizes at Walmart 3- 7 bucks Dazz 3 compartment pop-up sorter Folds flat, through a box of ammo in it to weight it down. And, it collects my precious cases.

"The $0.50 AR Trigger Job"
This is one thread that I’d like to address with a measured tone and no BS. It’s important and safety related. I’ve forgotten more about AR triggers than many know. #1 The statement about surface hardening of the trigger / hammer sear is true but there is a misunderstanding. The hardening extends to the base of the horizontal grooves you find on the hammer sear engagement surface. The wash board can be removed and surface hardening maintained if done carefully. The engagement surface of the trigger need not be touched because the wash board is in the same direction as the trigger pull. Minor serrations actually hold light grease / oil here well. #2 The milspec trigger has .060” plus sear engagement. Way too much for me. But if you’re standing behind me with a loaded rifle that’s fine by me. This amount of engagement is four or five times more than a commercial rifle or what is necessary. “Bill Spingfield” reduces this engagement for the Air Force Rifle Team I have read. BTW I don’t like his work. 015” sear engagement is fine, safe and produces a useable trigger IMHO. #3 An AR trigger (stock configuration) with the sear engagement on the same plane as the pivot pin will always increase in weight as the trigger is pulled because of the angle of the engagement. The trigger spring is actually being compressed more as you squeeze the trigger. This is all the premium triggers have the sear engagement location moved. I’ve seen, inspected and modified many AR triggers. And, here is my suggestion. Buy and aftermarket trigger unless you REALY know what you’re doing and are willing to accept the responsibility of an AD. On my precision AR I’ve developed a two pound set trigger from a stock hammer and sear. Should you do it? Hell NO… Will I do it for anybody else? Hell NO… Will I ever sell this rifle with this trigger? Hell NO. This trigger is safe, stands up to a drop test but I’m not willing to accept any liability. Good thread!

Side charger upper
I've looked at side chargers. I'm really undecided. Things that bother me... Less bearing area on the BCG, increased wear. Non-standard parts. Yep I understand how AR's work and lock up. But just don't know.

Have to Confess Even I Do Some Dumb $hit
So, I’m getting ready for the Hathcock Match. The Load is developed The rifle sighted. And everything is done off of an “F Class” bipod. I find out I can’t use that bipod for the match. OK , I can shoot off bags prone just fine. So I go to practice. My groups grow to 3 ½” at 300yds. OMG not good! ¾” wide but vertical stringing. Scope and mount ok. Bags too hard? Too soft? Too much free recoil? Poor body position? Bag position? $hit! This ain’t my first rodeo! I left the forward sling swivel installed and it was climbing up the bags on recoil giving me vertical stringing. Now I feel like a dumb $hit!
