Back in the middle of December, i ordered a couple of custom SSK carbine barrels, one being a 20" fluted 6.5grendel, the second one an 18" fluted 357/44 Bain & Davis.

Got an email today that the Grendel has shipped; was happy to see it was ahead of schedule as they had originally estimated 3 months, and they got it done and shipped in 2. Going to start prepping some brass today to begin load workup, i have a 2x7 Leupold Ultimate Slam set aside for that barrel when it arrives (has a holdover reticle, kind of like a ballistic plex).

Curious as to how this one will compare for speeds, i have carbines now in 6.5TCU, 6.5x30/30Ackley, and 6.5JDJ , kind of thought it would fall somewhere in the middle of those for velocities.

No word yet on the 357Bain&Davis, already sized some .44brass to feed that one, will update as i hear word on that one. Going to prep some Grendel brass today.
