[QUOTE="Wesley C, post: 3056776, member: 43104"] Heads up, this is a long one... so I picked up the Betsy Ross addition stripped upper/lower last July. I’m a believer in the belief that firearms are tools and a multi tool, in firearms, does nothing well. With the new hotness caliber always being a gamble, I’m still on the fence about what to build. Let me stet the stage on what I want to achieve, I’m proficient with the manual of arms of the Ar platform but don’t like the velocity dependent round. I love my AK’s but since, he who shall not be named, put a ban on my beloved 5.45 ammo, I’ve learned to not be reliant on foreign ammunition. So, there are a few rounds on the table for the AR platform. 6.5 Grendel is in the lead because of longer range ballistics(>400 yards) and available wolf ammo. There is a descent following for the 6.5 Timberwolf that is using NATO brass and doesn’t require a thinner walled bolt. And then there is the 224 Valkyrie that is showing promise. But, will it be affordable to train with? Conclusion Do I build the Grendel because of it’s ballistics, cost to train but that thinner bolt makes me worry about reliability. Or, take a gamble on one of the newer offerings hitting the market? I’ll put a link to the MFR who is developing the wildcat ammo.
