We converted a Sterling Arms International R18 MKII to 6.5 Grendel. How? Here's the build:
- Sterling Arms Intl R18 Rifle as a base
- Faxon 20" 6.5 Grendel Barrel
- TNA 6.5 Grendel Bolt
- Triggertech Diamond AR15 Drop in Trigger
- Vortex Venom 5-25 Optic

Today we're testing the following:
- Hornady Brass
- 129 Grain Hornady SST Projectiles
- Federal Small Rifle Primers
- 31 Grains BLC-2 Powder

Our goal is:
- 1 MOA @ 100 Meters
- over 2400 FPS

How did we do?
