I've been using a 6.5 grendel for a while. It's probably not a rifle problem. Push the rounds out of the mag with your finger and I bet you will notice the bullets hanging up on the front edge of the magazine in front of the follower. Take a Dremel, or file and relieve that area about an eighth of an inch. I had the same problem, and this fixed it.
Thanks for the video. Feeding from the magazines has always been an issue with Ruger American rifles. Every one of them I’ve seen, in any caliber. Ruger doesn’t seem to care. Other than that, they are excellent rifles for the money and more accurate than one would expect for the money.
Great vid guys.. Thanks for the time.. Bought my wife the X39 gen 2 and she loves it!! next year its the grendal!

You should be able to fix the mag feeding issue by removing one or two coils from the spring. This is a known issue even with the Gen1.
That is a great idea!!! Thank you so much for that!

what twist is the riffling of the barrel
Take your magazine apart and turn the spring 180 degrees. Sometimes those mags nose dive on last round that should fix it
We've have a few come thru our shop, I snagged the 6mm ARC for myself.
I want the 22 ARC
Are you shooting at Reeves? I have a Gen 2 in 6.5 Grendel and love it
Yes sir!!! Sure are.. I’m glad you love it; it is a nice firearm
Thats feeding issue is definitely a Ruger problem. Duramags are the gold standard for Grendel, nothing comes close.
Appreciate the tip!
I have had 3 grendels, a bolt action and 2 AR's. I could never get good accuracy with factory ammo or hand loads.
What loads were you shooting?
The ruger 450bushmaster had the same loading issues
Got 1.. almost no kick
Yes sir. The felt recoil is minimal! It is a very handy round
I think 6.5 can be used for big-game hunting. Maybe not grindel, but 6.5 Creedmoor could do the jop for a deer
100% it can. I shot an elk with a 6.5 creedmor but it has to be a great and well placed shot! Aim small always!
6.5 Grendel works on deer (two last year)
Should fix the title. It says ranch and you show the predator and standard
Yes sir. Sorry about that. We have a ranch as well that is a gen 1. Got the titles messed up. It is fixed now. Thank you
