Yup I have had a 556 and a 300 upper from them. They build good, solid, quality products. I really was impressed with mine. The shipping time is not as impressive though. You will have to wait a little bit to get it but they are good to go. You won't be disappointed with the 300blk. Especially if down the road you get a can. The 125's are good but I definitely prefer the 110g vmax or Barnes if you can get them for the 300blk. There are several of us who load for 300blk on here so feel free to pm me for any questions. If you decide to go the ar pistol route let me know. I have a psa upper with 8.5" barrel sitting in the safe I could sell you.

You are talking about the Hardened Arms, right?

I was on the fence myself last year between a 6.5 Grendel and the 6.8. I ended up building a 6.8 and love it. I am only shooting factory rounds for now and have not gotten into reloading for it as yet, building up a nice supply of brass first. I absolutely love the compact nature of it toting it through the woods and while in the tree. When in doubt, build all 3

i have a blackout upper from hardened arms, it was recommended to me by shooters. I like it.

Although you are not interested in a suppressor right now, who's to say what tomorrow may bring

I use 6.5x55 which has same bullet as Grendel but the case is larger so more gun powder. Anyway I use normal rifle but both moose, reindeer, deer and boars has fallen for that one. It's all about how well you're able to place your shot. I use hunting rounds with led tip from Norma Oryx and these are great rounds. I also love that it has quite flat drop so if you have to shoot on 150yards + then it won't be that much different then on 100yards.

The 6.5x55 is an excellent round that for some reason has never caught on too well in the states. I think my next rifle will be chambered in the swede. 140s around 2800 will be nice.

I have a 68 and I love it. Fun to shoot and it's deadly. It loves federal fusion 115gr and hornnady superperformance 120gr. Didn't shoot the lighter grains well at all.

I thought we were still talking ARs? 6.5x55 definitely won't fit the ar15 and doubtful in AR10.
