shrade Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Made the decision to build a 6.5 early in '20, saw all the crap that was going on, bought most of the ammo and components before I had all the build parts. Maybe a little backwards but it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little backwards but it worked. Not backwards as that can easily sell if you later abandon the build. My venture in to the 6.5 Grendel caliber was a fairly recent last minute decision. Glad I don’t make that kind of decision much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built an 18" Valk from the BA SPR profile barrel, and basically I only did it because of all the hype surrounding it when they announced it. They compared it to 6.5 Grendel, and the Hornady .308 178gr ELD-X. Right up my alley, right there, advertisers. I built it almost identical to my Grendel SPR build, and my Mk12 Mod 1 (5.56) build, to shoot it against those two, plus my Mk11 - which has only seen handloads of 178 ELD-X for it's entire life - and it is BADASS... Determination? The Valk isn't what they cracked it up to be, it doesn't beat the Grendel, and the Mk11 178 ELD-X smokes it. I built the thing to disprove the magazine and advertisement shiit-talking and hype that was going on when it was launched. It doesn't measure up to all that was said about it, nowhere close. Will I sell it? Nope, I'll keep it. It's already built, paid for, and I figured out a solid load with 88gr ELD-Ms, and it does work. It just doesn't smoke Grendel or any 178 ELD-X .30 cal load that's worth a damn. I'll hang onto it, so when someone says "Valk will KILL that!..." - I have it standing by, to prove them wrong. I certainly won't build any more of them. One did it for me. Just my $0.02. 6 ARC smokes all this small frame stuff, by miles. Nothing else is even in it's league. I'm sticking with that. Doesn't mean I'm selling any Grendels - just means I'm building more 6 ARCS. I'm up to 2 of them now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belt Fed Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 It definitely don't have the thump the grendel has. but that fusion 90 grain does pretty good. i'd be hoardin 120 grain grendel fusion if i could find it. i have enough 224 anyway.

98Z5V Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 The Valk aint' bad, brother - not in the least. It just didn't live up to the hype that they announced it at. I like mine, won't sell it - but I won't put it up against a Grendel or my Mk11 gun - that they said it was gonna crush.... Fuckin' magazine people...

I think a lot of people had accuracy issues with factory ammo too. when i got mine there was not much choice. still not a lot. you guys that reload had it much better making your own for accuracy.
